Properties of alcohols and phenols
- derivatives of water in which one hydrogen is replaced by organic components
- same geometry as water
- higher boiling points than alkanes
- both weakly basic and acidic
reversibly protonated by strong acids to yield oxonium ions
as weak Lewis bases
Protonate water in dilute aqueous solutions to yield H3O and alkoxide ion and phenoxide ion
as weak acids
compounds containing an oxygen atom bonded to two carbon atoms
