Identify the functional groups listed in the problem: Hydroxyl group (-OH), Amino group (-NH2), Carboxyl group (-COOH), 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.
Compare the functional groups listed with the characteristic functional group of alcohols, which is the hydroxyl group (-OH).
Conclude that the hydroxyl group (-OH) is the characteristic functional group of alcohols, distinguishing them from other organic compounds.
