Answer true or false.

(a) The functional groups of a carboxylic acid are a carbonyl group bonded to a hydroxyl group.

(b) The VSEPR model predicts bond angles of 180° about the carbonyl carbon of a carboxyl group.

(c) The VSEPR model predicts bond angles of 109.5° about the oxygen of the OH group of a carboxyl group.

(d) The carbonyl carbon of a carboxyl group can be a stereocenter, depending on its location within a molecule.

(e) Carboxylic acids can be prepared by chromic acid oxidation of primary alcohols and of aldehydes.

(f) The product of chromic acid oxidation of hexanoic acid is 1-hexanol.
