Acetic Acid Molecular Structure - 3D Ball-and-Stick Model #3333447 (License: Personal Use)

This high-resolution 3D molecular model depicts acetic acid (ethanoic acid, CH₃COOH), featuring two carbon atoms (black), two oxygen atoms (red), and four hydrogen atoms (white). The structure clearly shows the methyl group (-CH₃) bonded to a carboxyl group (-COOH), with a double bond between carbon and one oxygen, and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the same carbon. The spatial geometry reflects tetrahedral and trigonal planar arrangements around the respective carbon centers.

Commonly used in chemistry textbooks, educational websites, and scientific presentations to illustrate organic acid structure, functional groups, and molecular geometry. Matches user intent for learning about carboxylic acids, molecular visualization, or preparing teaching materials.
