What does TRIOL mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
An alcohol whose molecule contains three hydroxyl groups, such as glycerol.
A triol belongs to the same family as simpler alcohols, but where a common alcohol has one hydroxyl group, a triol carries three of them spread across its molecule. Glycerol, used in soaps, syrups, and skin lotions, is the best-known example of a triol encountered in everyday products. Chemists classify a triol among the polyols, alongside diols, which carry two hydroxyl groups instead of three. The extra hydroxyl groups on a triol allow it to form stronger bonds with water and to react in ways a simple alcohol cannot.
