It looks like you're asking about the relationship between a carboxyl group (-COOH) and a carboxylate ion (-COO⁻).

The carboxylate ion (-COO⁻) is formed when a carboxylic acid (-COOH) loses a proton (H⁺). This is an acid-base reaction.

-COOH (carboxylic acid) ⇌ -COO⁻ (carboxylate ion) + H⁺ (proton)
