No. A hydroxyl group consists of an oxygen bonded to a hydrogen (-OH). A single hydroxyl group on an alkyl chain characterizes the alcohol family of organic compounds (i.e. ethanol: CH3CH2OH).

Does the functional group react differently depending on the carbon backbone?
A functional group may react differently, but does not always do so. One of the well known examples is a hydroxyl group, which ionizes sufficiently to act as a weak acid when the hydroxyl group is bonded directly to a carbon atom that is part of an aromatic ring, but not when the hydroxyl group is attached to a carbon that is part of an aliphatic chain.
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.
Why do Solution of ammonia turns red litmus paper blue while dry ammonia gas has no action on litmus paper?
Ammonia solution consists of ammonium hydroxide and water, the ammonium hydroxide is basic (due to the hydroxyl functional group). Dry ammonia doesn't have this functional group.
What is the formula for H O H?
OH is a hydroxyl radical (as in sodium hydroxide) or the alcohol functional group.
What is the group number for nitrogen?
the group number for nitrogen is group 15.
What is alcohol functional group?
Hydroxyl group, -OH
What group is of the OH functional group?
hydroxyl
What is the functional group in an alcohol?
The functional group in alcohols is -OH (hydroxyl).
What type of substituted hydrocarbon contains the functional group OH?
Alcohols are a substituted hydrocarbon which contain the hydroxyl (OH) group.
What functional group is chloroform?
hydroxyl
What is -OH group?
The -OH group is called the hydroxyl group
What functional group is amphetamine in?
It contains a Secondary Amine group as well as a Secondary Hydroxyl group. There is also a benzene ring which is not considered a functional group.
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.
Which is a polar functional group found in alcohols?
The functional group in alcohols is the hydroxyl -OH.
Which functional group is found in glucose?
Hydroxyl
What parts of organic molecules contain oxygen nitrogen and phosphorus?
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".
