The carbonyl, or carboxylic acid functional group is a chemical moiety that plays a critical role in many of the most common biochemical reactions. For example, protein formation relies on a condensation reaction between a carbonyl and an amine group.

Does ethanol contains the carbonyl group?

No, ethanol does not contain a carbonyl group. Ethanol's chemical structure consists of a hydroxyl (-OH) group, not a carbonyl group. A carbonyl group is characterized by a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom, like in aldehydes or ketones.


Is the carbonyl group electron withdrawing or donating?

The carbonyl group is electron withdrawing.


What functional group is removed from a molecule when the carbonyl group is eliminated?

When the carbonyl group is eliminated from a molecule, the functional group that is removed is the carbonyl group itself, which consists of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom.


What function group is found in an aldehyde?

Carbonyl


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.
