1
Q

A
- primary alcohols
- secondary alcohols
- tertiary alcohols
2
Q
What is a primary alcohol?
A
An alcohol in which the carbon that the OH functional group is attached to is only bonded to one other carbon chain
3
Q
What is a secondary alcohol?
A
An alcohol in which the carbon which the OH functional group is attached to is bonded to two other carbon chains
4
Q
What is a tertiary alcohol?
A
An alcohol in which the carbon that the OH functional group is attached to is bonded to three other carbon chains
5
Q
How does the shape of a molecule change the boiling point?
A
Boiling point increases as chail length increases as there are more induced dipole dipole intermolecular forces which results in more energy needed to be overcome
6

yes
