hii there!!!
Terminal groups are the one that only occur at end of a carbon chain. Other groups such as Aldehyde (-CHO), Carboxylic acid (-COOH) etc. are terminal groups because they can occur only at the end of the carbon chain.
i hope it helps u

Is alcohol a terminal functional group?
Answer
No, Alcohol (-OH) group is not an terminal group. This is because it can occur in the middle of a long carbon chain. For example as in Hexan-3-ol, Butan-2-ol. Terminal groups are the one that only occur at end of a carbon chain.
Other groups such as Aldehyde (-CHO), Carboxylic acid (-COOH) etc. are terminal groups because they can occur only at the end of the carbon chain.
In the alcohol functional group, a carbon is single-bonded to an OH group (the OH group, by itself, is referred to as a hydroxyl). Except for methanol, all alcohols can be classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary. In a primary alcohol, the carbon bonded to the OH group is also bonded to only one other carbon
