Question

question 27 of 30 what is the formula for the alcohol functional group? a. —oh b. —nh₂ c. —cooh d. —o—

Explanation:

To determine the formula for the alcohol functional group, we analyze each option:

• Option A: \(-\text{OH}\) is the hydroxyl group, which is the functional group of alcohols. Alcohols are defined by the presence of one or more hydroxyl groups attached to a carbon atom.
• Option B: \(-\text{NH}_2\) is the amino group, characteristic of amines, not alcohols.
• Option C: \(-\text{COOH}\) is the carboxyl group, found in carboxylic acids, not alcohols.
• Option D: \(-\text{O}-\) is the ether linkage, characteristic of ethers, not alcohols.

Answer:

A. \(-\text{OH}\)
