A hydroxyl group (-OH) can make a molecule more polar by increasing its solubility in water. It can also participate in hydrogen bonding with other molecules, influencing the chemical properties and reactivity of the compound.

∙ 14y agoHydroxyls are the resulting molecules formed when UV-C radiation reacts with water molecules. This reaction will strip water molecules of one of their hydrogen atoms to create the hydroxide anion (OH-) and the free Hydrogen radical will also form hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by combining with other hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Water molecules and the hydroxyl (OH-) apparently have a signature absorption of infrared energy at the 3.0 micrometer wavelength.

It depends on where the functional group is. It almost always raises melting and boiling temperature and makes it more hydrophilic. If it's on the same carbon as a double-bonded oxygen, it decreases pKa (i.e. makes the compound more acidic)

∙ 13y agoAssuming that you meant "hydroxyl" then a hydroxyl group is functional group that is made up of an oxygen (O) covalently bonded to a hydrogen (H) where the rest of the molecule is represented by R: R-OH. Hydroxyl groups are the functional group of alcohols. Example being ethanol: C2H5OH

Which atoms make up the functional group of ethanol (CH3CH2OH)?
The answer is the hydroxyl group (-OH) -novanet
What different of alcohols and hydroxyl group?
Hydroxyl group is -OH group and alcohols are organic compounds containing C-OH bonds
Which functional group is within the compound shown below r-oh?
The hydroxyl group.
Are hydroxyl and hydroxide same?
No, hydroxyl and hydroxide are not the same. A hydroxyl group (-OH) is a functional group consisting of an oxygen and a hydrogen atom bonded together. Hydroxide (OH-) is an anion formed when a hydroxyl group gains an extra electron, giving it a negative charge and making it a powerful base.
What is alcohol functional group?
Hydroxyl group, -OH
What is -OH group?
The -OH group is called the hydroxyl group
Why tertiary hydroxyl group protection is difficult?
ascorbic acid hydroxyl group protection
What group is an -OH group?
hydroxyl
What chemical group is at the end of the 5 prime end of DNA strand?
5' - phosphate group 3' - hydroxyl group
Which atoms make up the functional group of ethanol (CH3CH2OH)?
The answer is the hydroxyl group (-OH) -novanet
What is the hydroxyl group in hipposudoric acid?
This acid has 3 hydroxyl groups.
Can a hydroxyl group be called a carbonyl group?
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 different of alcohols and hydroxyl group?
Hydroxyl group is -OH group and alcohols are organic compounds containing C-OH bonds
What do you cal an -OH group?
An hydroxyl group.
What group is of the OH functional group?
hydroxyl
What is a OH group?
hydroxyl group or alcohol
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.
