Question

through the compound such as glucose & alcohol have hydrogen atoms in their molecules yet they are not categorized as acid. why?

Answer 1

ANSWER....

An acid is a substance that dissociates in water to give hydrogen ions H+(aq)( a substance capable of donating a proton) or a species that accepts an electron pair. The hydrogen in alcohol and glucose do not do so. So they are not acids. If you think like that, even strong bases like NaOH and KOH have hydrogen atoms but these are bases....
