benzoic acid, easy to look up what it looks like.
my question is... when benzoic acid reacts with naoh, it reacts with the oh, the oh takes the H from the oh thats attached to benzoic acid. NOW the NEW o that has 1 bond and 6 electrons around it, is attached to a carbon that is FULL, does it create a double bond and over fill the carbon, or does the molecule stay with a negative charge, i dont understand the rules for when a carbon can have an over full shell.
PLEASE HELPPPP
