Identify the functional group associated with alcohols. Alcohols are characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group.
Understand the structure of a hydroxyl group. It is represented as \(-OH\), where an oxygen atom is bonded to a hydrogen atom.
Compare the hydroxyl group with other functional groups listed: carboxyl group \((-COOH)\), amino group \((-NH_2)\), and carbonyl group \((C=O)\).
Recognize that the carboxyl group \((-COOH)\) is found in carboxylic acids, the amino group \((-NH_2)\) is found in amines, and the carbonyl group \((C=O)\) is found in ketones and aldehydes.
Conclude that the hydroxyl group \((-OH)\) is the functional group commonly found in alcohols.
