Alcohols with more than one -OH group is are called
Polyhydric Alcohols
Grignard reagent is also known an
Alkyl Magnesium Halide( RMgX)
The ability of water to mix with Alcohol is called
Hydrophillic
What are the different types of Isomerisms in alcohol?
Chain Isomerism
Position Isomerism
Functional Isomerism
Alcohols placed in Alkenes and Alkanes yield what respectively
Enol and Normal Alkanol
Alcohols are classified into
1°
2°
3°
When the carbon to which the OH group is attached has at least two hydrogen or more, what type of alcohol is it..
Primary Alcohol

Secondary alcohols: when the carbon to which the OH group is attached has only one hydrogen.
When there is no hydrogen on the carbon bearing, the OH functional group, the alcohol is called
Tertiary alcohol.
What is responsible for the 109° angle strain of the alcohol functional group?
The presence of the lone Pairs of electrons.
A Grignard reagent adds formaldehyde to give a
Primary Alcohol with one additional carbon atom
