Parts and what they mean

• Two O–H···O hydrogen bonds (दो O–H···O हाइड्रोजन बंध) — Each O–H of one acid bonds to the C=O oxygen of the other, giving a ring-shaped dimer.
• Phenyl group C₆H₅– (फ़ेनिल समूह C₆H₅–) — Non-polar part; benzene as solvent does not break the H-bonds, so dimers survive.
• Carboxyl group –COOH (कार्बोक्सिल समूह –COOH) — The part that forms the hydrogen bonds.
