Which of the following functional groups is most commonly found in alcohols?
A
Amino group (-NH2)
B
Carbonyl group (C=O)
C
Carboxyl group (-COOH)
D
Hydroxyl group (-OH)
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the functional groups listed in the problem: amino group (-NH2), carbonyl group (C=O), carboxyl group (-COOH), and hydroxyl group (-OH).
Understand the definition of each functional group: the amino group contains nitrogen, the carbonyl group contains a carbon double-bonded to oxygen, the carboxyl group contains both a carbonyl and a hydroxyl group, and the hydroxyl group contains an oxygen bonded to hydrogen.
Recall the structure of alcohols: alcohols are organic compounds where a hydroxyl group (-OH) is bonded to a carbon atom.
Compare the functional groups with the structure of alcohols: the hydroxyl group (-OH) is the defining feature of alcohols.
Conclude that the hydroxyl group (-OH) is the functional group most commonly found in alcohols, as it is the characteristic group that defines this class of compounds.
