salicylic acid

Ball-and-stick model of salicylic acid. (Black balls represent carbon atoms, red balls represent oxygen atoms, and white balls represent hydrogen atoms. The hexagonal dotted line means that double bonds and single bonds along the benzene ring can trade places, kind of like a standing wave. The COOH projection on the top right is a carboxyl group and the OH projection on the top is a hydroxyl group.)
