what is ol group? Please explain fastly
Answers
Answer:
ol group is the suffix used in the IUPAC names of alcohols
Explanation:
Formula For Naming Alcohols
(In IUPAC)
R-OH
which means that we add "ol" at the end of the parent chain
like for example,
The IUPAC name for CH3-OH is Methanol
The IUPAC name for C2H5 is Ethanol
Hey read the last line!
ol functional group in organic chemistry is actually called hydroxyl group
It is :-
--OH
Where O is oxygen atom
and H is hydrogen atom
And if in a hydrocarbon -H group is replaced by --OH group then you get a new compound having new properties
If -H group is replaced from alkane molecule you will get an alcohol molecule
