Butyric Acid Molecular Structure - Chemical Composition & Properties #1771868 (License: Personal Use)

This high-resolution 3D model depicts butyric acid (CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH), a four-carbon saturated fatty acid, with black spheres representing carbon atoms, white for hydrogen, red for oxygen, and blue for the nitrogen atom in the adjacent amide group (indicating a derivative or related compound). The structure clearly shows the linear alkyl chain and the polar carboxyl group responsible for its acidic properties and biological activity. The rendering uses standard CPK coloring for intuitive atomic identification.

Used in educational chemistry resources, biochemistry textbooks, scientific publications, and molecular modeling websites to illustrate organic acid structure, functional groups, and molecular geometry; targets students, researchers, and educators seeking visual understanding of fatty acid chemistry.
