5 Questions
What is the classification of alcohols based on the number of carbons bonded to the alcohol carbon?
Alcohols are classified as 1°, 2°, or 3°, depending on the number of carbons bonded to the alcohol carbon.
What is the difference between ethers and alcohols?
Ethers differ from alcohols in that the oxygen atom of an ether is bonded to two carbon atoms.
What are compounds called if they have a hydroxyl group attached directly to a benzene ring?
Compounds that have a hydroxyl group attached directly to a benzene ring are called phenols.
What are some physical characteristics of alcohols?
Alcohols have a hydroxyl (− OH) group bonded to a saturated carbon atom. The alcohol carbon atom may be part of a simple alkyl group or a more complex molecule.
What are some common functional class names given to simple ethers?
Simple ethers are frequently given common functional class names.
