Answer:
The order of reactivity of alcohols is 3° > 2° > 1° methyl.
Alcohol when react with sodium it changes the reactivity because
- Since Na metal is basic and alcohols are acidic in nature, therefore, reactivity of Na metal towards alcohols decreases as the acidic strength of alcohols decreases, i.e., in the order : 1°>2°>3°.
