WHAT DOES HYDROXYL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Hydroxyl

A hydroxyl is a chemical functional group containing an oxygen atom connected by a covalent bond to a hydrogen atom, a pairing that can be simply understood as a substructure of the water molecule. When it appears, it imparts to chemical structures some of its reactive and interactive properties. Note that -OH should not be confused with the hydroxide ion of water The neutral form of the hydroxyl group is a hydroxyl radical. The anion form,, is called the hydroxide anion; it bears a single negative charge largely residing on the more electronegative oxygen.

Definition of hydroxyl in the English dictionary

The definition of hydroxyl in the dictionary is of, consisting of, or containing the monovalent group -OH or the ion OH–.
