Explain using only structural diagrams only the differences between primary,secondary and tertiary alcohols.
Why are the boiling points of ethers similar to those of alkanes instead of alcohols?
a)
Both ether molecules and alkane molecules are polar, whereas alcohol molecules are nonpolar.
b)
Hydrogen bonding between ether molecules is strong and this property is similar to that of alkanes. However, hydrogen bonding is weaker in alcohols than it is in both ethers and alkanes.
c)
Although ether molecules are polar, they cannot form hydrogen bonds with other ether molecules. Similarly, alkane molecules do not form hydrogen bonds, whereas there is hydrogen bonding in alcohols.
d)
None of these are correct explanations.
1. Why is alcohol more interesting than another Functional group of organic compounds?
2. Give a sample structure of alcohol as an organic compound in a functional mixture and give its exceptional properties and typical uses.
3. Name Products or things in which this functional group is present.
