Identify the functional groups listed in the problem: Carbonyl group (C=O), Carboxyl group (-COOH), Amino group (-NH2), and Hydroxyl group (-OH).
Understand that a functional group is a specific group of atoms within a molecule that is responsible for a characteristic chemical reaction of that molecule.
Recall that alcohols are organic compounds characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a carbon atom.
Recognize that the hydroxyl group (-OH) is the functional group responsible for the characteristic reactions of alcohols, such as hydrogen bonding, dehydration, and oxidation.
Conclude that among the options provided, the hydroxyl group (-OH) is the correct functional group responsible for the characteristic reactions of alcohols.
