Who? What?

What about the properties of compounds with other functional groups? @chmvijay

chmvijay · Answer

alcohols  and amines to show this thing....

anonymous · Answer

yep they show inter molecular hydrogen bonding.. and if you know about liquid solutions they do form a +ive deviation solution

anonymous · Answer

you can compare them with ester
there similarity of oxygen but no H bonding so less BP, MP 
and esters have a fruity smell and carboxylic acids generally have a pungent smell like acetic acid (vinegar)

anonymous · Answer

in carboxylic acid and esters you can also make some points on the mechanisms they follow
esters follow Aal1, Bac1,Aal2, Bac2
and acid Sn1

Wow. Thank you! ;-)

What about alcohol?

anonymous · Answer

alcohol are less bulky than carboxylic acid ( you can guess why)
they form better hydrogen bonding as they are more compact than carboxylic acid.. they are less acidic then carboxylic acid 'coz of resonating structures.. and if I remember then one molecule causes anesthetic feeling and is stored in black bottles(except ethanol :P)... that will make a pretty good point..
