In chemistry, an alcohol is any organiccompound in which the hydroxyl functional group (–OH) is bound to a saturated carbon atom. The termalcohol originally referred to the primary alcohol ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which is used as a drug and is the main alcohol present in alcoholicbeverages.

Alcohol, any of a class of organic compounds characterized by one or more hydroxyl (−OH) groups attached to a carbon atom of an alkyl group (hydrocarbon chain). Alcohols may be considered as organic derivatives of water (H2O) in which one of the hydrogen atoms has been replaced by an alkyl group, typically represented by R in organic structures. For example, in ethanol (or ethyl alcohol) the alkyl group is the ethyl group, −CH2CH3.

-OH
Two opposing trends in alcohols areto promote the solubility of water and tendency of the carbon chain to resist it
