Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
An alcohol is an organic compound that contains an aliphatic carbon atom with a hydroxyl (OH) functional group. Because OH is the functional group of all alcohols, the general formula ROH is frequently used to represent alcohols, where R is an alkyl group. The alcohol functional group also known as the hydroxyl group has the formula –OH. This group contains two bonds one is a carbon-hydrogen bond and the other one is a carbon-oxygen bond which is more reactive in nature.
