1. Alcohols generally have higher boiling points in comparison to other hydrocarbons having equal molecular masses.
2. Solubility of alcohol in water is governed by the hydroxyl group present. The hydroxyl group in alcohol is involved in the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
3. Alcohols react with active metals such as sodium, potassium etc. to form the corresponding alkoxide. These reactions of alcohols indicate their acidic nature.
