Question Answer
Alcohols Alcohols are hydroxyl derivatives of hydrocarbons in which one or more hydrogen atom are replaced by OH group
Glycols 2 OH groips are attatched tovdifferent carbon atom
Glycerols 3 OH groups are attached
sorbitol
Allylic alcohol Next to next double bond
Vinylic alcohol Next to double bond
Benzylic alcohols
girgnards wants active hydrogen
p , s= t= - aldehyde/ketone -alkene
AS ALKYL GROUP INCREASE ACIDIC NATURE OF OH BOND DECREASES DUE TO INCRE IN ELECRTRON DENSITY ON OXYGEN AND DECREASE IN POLARITY
boiling point -increases with increase in the number ofc atomes due to increase in the van der waal forces -high bp due to hydrogen bonding - increases with molecular mass - decreases with branching
solubility decrease with increase in size
alcohol structure points --->similar to the structure of water and o ---->o is sp3 hyb ----->C is sp3 hyb ----->c-o are bonded by sigma bonds ----> sp3 of c and sp3 of o overlap ----->o has 2 lone pairs so due to replusion d bondangle of c-o is less than the tetrahedral
physical properties LOWER MEMBERS- colorless liq. higher members -solids and colorless ALCOHOLS have higher bp than many other corresponding groups
