question
what do you name the derivatives of linear hydrocarbons in which an (-oh) group has replaced a hydrogen atom?
select the correct answer below:
hydroxyl carbons
bases
alcohols
phenols
none of the above

Explanation:

Alcohols are organic compounds where a hydroxyl (-OH) group replaces a hydrogen atom in a hydrocarbon. Hydroxyl carbons is not a standard term. Bases are substances that can accept protons. Phenols have an -OH group attached to an aromatic ring (not a linear hydrocarbon). So the correct answer is alcohols.

Answer:

alcohols
