What do all alcohols have in common?
The hydroxyl group (-OH) is the functional group that defines alcohols.
What are the organic compounds that have an -OH functional group?
Alcohols and phenols (hydroxyl functional group)
What common organic functional group has the symbol OH?
-OH is a functional group. It's not at all clear what you're trying to ask. The functional group is called the hydroxyl group. Its compounds are called "alcohols".
What functional group is polar and a key component to most alcohols?
The hydroxyl -OH.
How are alcohols different from hydrocarbons?
They've got an oxygen atom between the carbon backbone (or atom, in the case of methanol) and a hydrogen atom at one or more points. This pair of atoms, an oxygen and a hydrogen, is called a hydroxyl group. There are a LOT of different alcohols. Some have only one hydroxyl group. These are the monohydric alcohols, of which there are three: methanol, ethanol and isopropanol. Some have two, and these are the diols. The glycols are diols. Alcohols with three hydroxyl groups are triols. Glycerol is a triol. The final group are the polyols, which have more than three hydroxyls - in most cases thousands of them. Most polyols are used to make plastic.

Which is a polar functional group found in alcohols?
The functional group in alcohols is the hydroxyl -OH.
Do alcohols contain a hydroxyl group?
Yes it does.
What is the functional group in an alcohol?
The functional group in alcohols is -OH (hydroxyl).
The functional group in the class known as alcohols is the-------- group A hydroxyl b carboxyl c aldehyde d ketone?
A - Hydroxyl
Polyhydroxyl alcohols are alcohols with more than one hydroxyl group attached to a carbon sequence?
molecule

What type of substituted hydrocarbon contains the functional group OH?
Alcohols are a substituted hydrocarbon which contain the hydroxyl (OH) group.
What is ethanol polarity?
it is polar due to the OH hydroxyl group. all alcohols are polar due to the polar OH group.
