Concept information
Preferred term
hydroxyl radical
Definition
- The monovalent functional group –OH found, for example, in alcohols and phenols. It consists of a hydrogen atom and a oxygen atom bound together by a covalent bond. In alcohols, the hydroxyl group is attached to a carbon atom in a hydrocarbon chain, while in phenols the hydroxyl group is attached directly to the hydrocarbon ring. It should not be confused with the hydroxide ion, OH–. (Encyclopedia of Science, by David Darling, https://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/H/hydroxyl.html)
