What is Types and Reactions of Alcohols about?
There are three types of alcohols: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary alcohols have two hydrogens bonded to the carbon with the hydroxyl group, secondary have one, and tertiary have none. Alcohols are polar molecules due to differing electronegativity of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. They have higher melting and boiling points than alkanes and are soluble in water through hydrogen bonding. Alcohols can be oxidized through heating with acids or dichromate to form aldehydes, carboxylic acids, or ketone
