Question

the chemical structure of ethanol (ch₃ch₂oh) is shown below. highlight each atom that is in a hydroxy group.

Explanation:

A hydroxy group (-OH) consists of an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. In the structure of ethanol, the oxygen atom (O) with two lone pairs and the hydrogen atom (H) directly bonded to it form the hydroxy group.

Answer:

The oxygen atom (O) and the hydrogen atom (H) bonded to it in the structure (the rightmost O and H) should be highlighted.
