About this document
ALCOHOL by pamelaammy347 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Alcohols are organic compounds characterized by the presence of one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups, with methanol and ethanol being the most common. They can be classified based on the number of -OH groups (monohydric, dihydric, trihydric) and the nature of the carbon atom to which the -OH group is attached (primary, secondary, tertiary). Alcohols are named according to IUPAC rules, can be prepared through various methods, and exhibit unique physical and chemical properties due to hydrogen bonding.
