unlimited number of carbon compounds can be formed by the addition of a functional group to a hydrocarbon.A functional group is a reactive portion of a A functional group is a reactive portion of a
molecule. The combinations of functional groups with hydrocarbons produce a vast number of compounds.

Organic molecules containing a hydroxyl group are known as alcohols.

Classification of AlcoholsAlcohols are classified as primary, secondary,
and tertiaryClassification is determined by the number of
alkyl group to the carbon bonded to the alkyl group to the carbon bonded to the hydroxyl.

Primary alcoholsIn a primary (1°) alcohol, the carbon which carries the -OH group is only attached to one alkyl group.
Notice that it doesn't matter how complicated the attached alkyl group is. In each case there is only one linkage to an alkyl group from the CH2 group holding the -OH group.

Secondary alcoholsIn a secondary (2°) alcohol, the carbon with the -OH group attached is joined directly to two alkyl groups, which may be the same or different.

Tertiary alcoholsIn a tertiary (3°) alcohol, the carbon atom holding the -OH group is attached directly to three alkyl groups, which may be any combination of same or different.

In phenols the -OH group is directly attached to a carbon that is part of an aromatic ring.Alcohols and phenols are similar in some
ways, but there are enough differences so that they are considered different functional they are considered different functional groups. One major difference is that phenols are
typically about a million times more acidic than alcohols.

Physical PropertiesBoiling Points
The chart shows the boiling points of some simple primary alcohols with up to 4 carbon atoms.atoms.They are:

They are compared with the equivalent alkane(methane to butane) with the same number of carbon atoms.
![Page 12: unlimited number of carbon compounds can](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042405/625dbe3b9d080b42890d4f90/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Notice that:• The boiling point of an alcohol is always much
higher than that of the alkane with the same number of carbon atoms.
• The boiling points of the alcohols increase as the number of carbon atoms increases.the number of carbon atoms increases.
• The patterns in boiling point reflect the patterns in intermolecular attractions.

Hydrogen bonding• Hydrogen bonding occurs between molecules
where you have a hydrogen atom attached to one of the very electronegative elements -fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen.fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen.
• In the case of alcohols, there are hydrogen bonds set up between the slightly positive hydrogen atoms and lone pairs on oxygens in other molecules.

• The hydrogen atoms are slightly positive because the bonding electrons are pulled away from them towards the very electronegative oxygen atoms.

Solubility of alcohols in water• The small alcohols are completely soluble in
water.• Solubility falls as the length of the
hydrocarbon chain in the alcohol increases.

aldehydes or carboxylic acids depending on the reaction conditions.
