Alcohol compounds are organic compounds that contain a hydroxyl (-OH) group, which is attached to a carbon atom. They are commonly used as solvents, antiseptics, and fuels. Some examples of alcohol compounds are ethanol (found in alcoholic beverages), methanol (used as a fuel and solvent), and isopropyl alcohol (used as an antiseptic). Alcohol compounds have a wide variety of uses in industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and cleaning products.
