What is the chemical symbol for drinking alcohol?
"Alcohol" is actually a general term for any compound containing an -OH (hydroxyl) group bonded to a carbon which itself is bonded only to hydrogens and other carbons. In common conversation, alcohol refers to drinking alcohol, or ethyl alcohol, abbreviated EtOH. It has the chemical formula C2H5OH.
Is methyl octane alcohol alkane or alkenes?
Alcohol is an Oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbonyl group. As such, there is no such thing as 'Methyl Octane Alcohol'. However, there is Methyl Alcohol and Octyl Alcohol. Please edit your question. Also: If you are asking if Methyl Alcohol is miscible (dissoluble) in octane, it is. Alkanes are hydrocarbons only, so both octane and the methyl group in methanol (methyl alcohol) are alkanes.
What is a substituted hydrocarbon with one or more carboxyl groups?
hydrocarbons are the organic compounds of carbon and hydrogen
Are protists only prokaryotes?
Protists are not prokaryotic. They are a group of eukaryotic organisms that are quite diverse. They are usually simple in structure.
Is an alcohol better leaving group than cyano group?
Although cyano isn't a very good leaving group (it IS a fantastic nucleophile, however), it is still better than an alcohol. The only way you can make an alcohol a good leaving group is to activate it somehow. Methods range from simple protonation (making [H-OH]+ - water) in an acidic environment, to tosyl-/mesylation to make OTs/OMs, to activation with a phosphorous reagent, etc.
What are the functional groups of polyethylene glycol?
There are alcohol and ether groups. The structure is repeat units, where "n" is a large number: HO-(CH2-CH2-O)n-H See the Web Links for more information.
What are monohydric alcohols?
the alcohols have one hydroxyl group is called mono hydric alcohols
What are the polar groups in cholesterol?
There is only one polar group that can be found in cholesterol despite it being nonpolar. That one group is a hydroxyl group.

Which functional group will not be found on a carbohydrate molecule A Aldehyde B Carboxylic acid C Hydroxyl D Ketone?
It sort of depends on how restrictive your definition of "carbohydrate" is. If you're using it in a way synonymous with "saccharide" (common, but not necessarily the only possible definition), then they will have hydroxyl groups and might have either an aldehyde or a ketone group (or they may not, for example glucose in its hemiacetal form), but they will not have a carboxylic acid group.
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.
Is 2 4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol an alcohol?
No! When scientists use the word alcohol, it refers to the chemical hydroxyl functional group. This means that the compound has a hydrogen atom attached to an oxygen atom which is then connected to a chain of carbon atoms. Nearly everything you eat is an alcohol in this sense except pure water. All saccharides (energy bearing molecules essential for human life) are sugar alcohols. The main sugar used for energy in humans is glucose, which has 5 alcohol groups on it compared to the single alcohol group on dichlorobenzyl alcohol. Glucose not named an alcohol because scientists in the past devised an arbitrary naming scheme that puts aldehyde groups above alcohols in naming and because simply saying glucose is easier than saying its full official name: (2R,3S,4R,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanal. If you eat any meat, you can be sure it has cholesterol in it. Guess what? Cholesterol has an alcohol too. Your body will make cholesterol even if you consume 0g of it in your diet. The vital amino acids serine, threonine and tyrosine all have alcohol (hydroxyl) groups. Most vitamins have a hydroxyl group. You cannot live without these compunds. What does this mean? It means absolutely nothing, because whoever wrote the kuran had absolutely no knowledge of any of this. The alcohol referred to in that text refers to ethanol, which also has a hydroxyl group on it. Ethanol is special because of a specific reaction with the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase which produces metabolic byproducts causing the symtoms of common alcohol ingestion from alcoholic beverages. If you believe the Kuran, unless you want to kill yourself from starvation, you should only avoid ethanol alcohol - the one found in wine and beer etc. So use your minds a bit. Im not a believer in god, but I have read the Kuran and I know it says seek true knowledge. Do your faith a little favour and dont accept ridiculous propositions before actually thinking about it. Always look for new information and use logic to guide you. Im sure its what your prophet or god wanted to tell you. Dont indulge in ignorance. As for dichlorobenzyl alcohol, it is named an alcohol on the package because it is easier to read and understand than 2,4-dichlorophenylmethanol, which is its official scientific name under IUPAC. The only commonality between this molecule and the conventional drinking alcohol is that they both have a specific arrangement of two atoms on a molecule. Their properties are entirely different aside from both oxygens having a weak propensity to donate the hydrogen atom to water in an aqueous medium. - a scientist

What is the difference between alkane and alcohol?
Alcohol (or ethanol) has a hydroxyl (OH) group on the end of its carbon chain, and contains no double bonds. Alkanes are likewise a single chain of carbon atoms joined by single bonds, but have no -OH group attached to them.
Is isopropyl alcohol the same as propylene glycol?
Propylene glycol and benzine glycol differ in chemical formula and properties. Ethylene glycol is more toxic than propylene glycol, therefore propylene glycol is used when safer properties are required.
Do All amino acids have a hydroxide group as part of their structure?
no, only tyrosine, serine and threonine
How close is the molecuar structure of hydrocodone and oxycodone?
The two are very close. Oxycodone differs in that is has a hydroxyl group at Carbon 14 (hydrogen/oxygen rather than just hydrogen), hence the name "Oxy" in Oxycodone. Of the 2, Oxycodone is the more potent, being 15-20 times stronger than Codeine; Hydrocodone, by comparison, is only 6 times as strong.
