Hello!

Picric acid is an organic compound and its formula is (NO2)3C6H2OH. IUPAC name is 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). This picric acid is widely used in medicines. To a benzene ring place OH on the to most position, OH and NO2 at para positions. Add NO2 at 2nd and 6th positions which is place NO2 in ortho positions (both the sides) with OH.

ALL THE BEST. Hope the answer was of some help.

Thank You

Hello,

Picric acid is an organic compound with the formula (O2N)3C6H2OH. Its IUPAC name is 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). You now phenol structure have OH attached to benzene ring on 1st position. You have to attach NO2 on 2,4,6 position on that phenol structure.

Hope you understand !

Hi, here is a link for a diagram which contains the structure of picric acid:

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.researchgate.net%2Ffigure%2FFig-2-Molecular-structure-of-Picric-Acid-2-D-Plot_fig2_278080661&psig=AOvVaw03-VPxnyoBdpxKTYYVOfKl&ust=1605534471855000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCNj41JLYhO0CFQAAAAAdAAAAABAJ

This is the way picric acidis drawn. You can refer to it for the same.Picric acid is a C-nitro compound comprising phenol having three nitro substtituents at the 2-, 4- and 6-positions. This will help you in understanding the diagram further.

Hope this helps!
