1) It is colorless, odorless, viscous and hydroscopic liquid.
2) It is sweet in taste and non-toxic in nature.
3) It is soluble in water due to formation of hydrogen bonding .
4) It has high boiling point i.e 2900C. The high viscosity and high boiling point of glycerol are due to association through H-bonding.

Chemical properties:
The molecule of glycerol contains two primary alcoholic (-OH) group and one secondary alcoholic (-OH) group hence it shows characteristics of both primary and secondary alcohols. Primary -OH groups are more reactive than secondary -OH group.
