Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which functional group is characterized by a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a hydroxyl group (–OH)?
  • Step 1: Understand what a carbonyl group is. A carbonyl group is a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom (C=O).
  • Step 2: Understand what a hydroxyl group is. A hydroxyl group is an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom (–OH).
  • Step 3: Recognize that a carboxylic acid has both a carbonyl group and a hydroxyl group.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the functional group characterized by a carbonyl group bonded to a hydroxyl group is a carboxylic acid.
