Examine the structure in the image: it consists of a carbon atom (C) double-bonded to an oxygen atom (O) and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group (OH).
Identify the components of the functional group: the carbonyl group (C=O) and the hydroxyl group (OH) are both present.
Recognize that the combination of a carbonyl group and a hydroxyl group attached to the same carbon atom forms a carboxyl group.
Understand that a carboxyl group is typically represented as \( \text{COOH} \) and is a common functional group in organic chemistry, particularly in carboxylic acids.
Conclude that the functional group shown in the figure is a carboxyl group, which is characterized by the presence of both a carbonyl and a hydroxyl group attached to the same carbon atom.
