No, a hydroxyl group is different than a carbonyl group. A hydroxyl group is an O-H group, while a carbonyl group is a C=O (double bond) group. Perhaps you are thinking of a carboxyl group, which is a sort of hybrid of the 2 groups. Carboxyl groups are C-O-O-H, essentially a merge of the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups.

What functional group is glucose found in?
Glucose is a type of simple sugar. There are two functional groups in glucose. The functional groups are aldehyde and hydroxyl.
A compound contains hydroxyl groups as its predominant functional group what is true concerning this compound?
The hydroxyl group is polar due to the oxygen, resulting in high solubility in water.
Is ketones the carbonyl group?
None. The carbonyl group is C=O. In a ketone it is bonded to two R-groups (most likely two carbons.)
Which elements make up the carbonyl group?
The core of a carbonyl group is a carbon (C) with a double bond to an oxygen (O). The C will have two single bonds to the rest of the molecule.
Which action could produce a carbonyl group?
the replacement of the - OH of a carboxyl group with hydrogen
Does ethanol contains the carbonyl group?
No. Ethanol contains a hydroxyl group, but not a carbonyl group.
On monosaccharides the functional group that is found bonded to all of the carbons on the chain except one is called Hydroxyl group Carbonyl group Carboxyl group or Phosphate group?
A monosaccharide is composed of a chain of carbons all with hydroxyl groups, plus one carbonyl such as a ketone or an aldehyde.
Which functional group does the molecule below have?
Carbonyl
Is NH2 Group carboxyl hydroxyl amino methyl or carbonyl?
NH3 is not a carboxyl group.
What functional group is in fructose?
The main functional groups in sugar and other carbohydrates is the carbonyl group and the hydroxyl group. The carbonyl group is composed of the aldehyde and ketone groups.
What is --COOH?
It is a carboxyl functional group, consisting of a carbonyl and hydroxyl group. It is an ACID [moiety].
Is alcohol or carbonyl group more polar?
carbonyl group does not have hydrogen, it is a carbon double bonded to oxygen. by adding a nucleophile such as H- or water you can form an alcohol in an addition reaction.
Is 2-hydroxy-2-methyl pentanal a product of aldol condensation?
no, the hydroxyl group must be beta not alpha to the carbonyl group
Strutural formula of carboxal group?
I believe you are referring to the carboxyl group, which has the structural formula COOH. The carbon is double bonded to an oxygen atom and single bonded to a hydroxyl group. It can thus be thought of as a carbonyl group bonded to a hydroxyl group.
What is -OH group?
The -OH group is called the hydroxyl group
What functional group is glucose found in?
Glucose is a type of simple sugar. There are two functional groups in glucose. The functional groups are aldehyde and hydroxyl.
How do monosaccharides differ from one another?
Monosaccharides differ from one another in the following ways: The number of carbon atoms they contain. The orientations of their hydroxyl group. The location of their carbonyl group.
