It's a benzene ring with a COOH (carboxylic acid group) coming off the first (top Carbon) then an OH (hydroxyl group) coming off the next (second carbon, the next carbon, clockwise from the COOH group) hope that helps :smile:

So the molecular formula would be C7H6O3?

6carbons for the ring and one on the outside is 7.
