A hydroxy or hydroxyl group is the entity with the formula OH. It contains oxygen bonded to hydrogen. In organic chemistry, alcohol and carboxylic acids contain hydroxy groups. The anion [OH−], called hydroxide, consists of a hydroxy group. hydroxyl groups are not highly reactive, but they readily form hydrogen bonds and contribute to making molecules soluble in water. Alcohols and sugars are "loaded" with hydroxyl groups. Carbonyl groups have one oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbon atom (symbolized as C=O).
