The hydrocarbon chains that attached with a hydroxyl group, OH- to a carbon atom are known as alcohols.
Alcohols can be considered derivatives of water (H2O; also written as HOH)


Like the H–O–H bond in water, the R–O–H bond is bent, and alcohol molecules are polar. This relationship is particularly apparent in small molecules and reflected in the physical and chemical properties of alcohols with low molar mass

Methanol, CH3OH is the most simple alcohol molecule. The category of the alcohol is classified as three groups which are primary (1˚) )alcohol, secondary (2˚) alcohols and tertiary (3˚ ) alcohol. If the alcohol bonded to one alkyl group, the alcohol is primary alcohol. The secondary alcohol is defined as the alcohol which one of the carbons is bonded to two alkyl groups and one hydrogen atom. If one of the carbons in alcohol is bonded to three alkyl groups is called tertiary alcohol.
