Identify the functional groups listed in the problem: Hydroxyl group (-OH), Carboxyl group (-COOH), Amino group (-NH2), and Carbonyl group (C=O).
Recall the definition of a functional group: a specific group of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules.
Understand that alcohols are organic compounds characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a carbon atom.
Review the structure of each functional group: Hydroxyl group (-OH) consists of an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom, Carboxyl group (-COOH) includes a carbonyl and hydroxyl group, Amino group (-NH2) contains nitrogen bonded to hydrogen, and Carbonyl group (C=O) consists of a carbon double-bonded to oxygen.
Conclude that the functional group commonly found in alcohols is the hydroxyl group (-OH), as it is the defining feature of alcohols.
