Question

The general formula of primary ,secondary and tertiary alcohol is a) CnH2nOH b) CnH2n-1OH c) CnH2n=1OH d) CnHn+1OH​

Answer 1

Answer:

primary :- -CH2OH group

sec :- -CHROH

tertiary :- -CR2OH

Answer 2

Primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols all have the general formulas- $-CH_{3} OH, -C_{2} H_{5} OH, and\ -C_{3} H_{7} OH$ respectively.

ALCOHOLS:

• Alcohols are compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane have been replaced by an $-OH$ group.
• Functional Group: Hydroxyl
• General Formula: $C_{n} H_{2n+1}OH ,\ where\ n\ = 1,2,3,...$

1. Primary Alcohol:

• the OH group is joined to one C atom, which is then joined to two additional C atoms and 2H.
• Primary alcohol is $CH_{2}-OH$

• One alkyl group attached

2. Secondary Alcohol:

• a -OH group is joined to a C atom, which is then joined to two further C atoms, H, and another C atom.
• Secondary alcohol is $CH_{3}-CH(OH)-CH_{3}$
• Two alkyl group attached

3. Tertiary Alcohol:

• The -OH group is joined to a Catom that is joined to 3 more C Atoms.
• $(CH_{3})_{3}C-OH$ is a tertiary alcohol

• Three alkyl group attached
