ALCOHOLS
, AIMS
Describe and name the first four alcohols.
Describe their reactions with sodium, burning in air, when they ar
added to water, and when they react with an oxidising agent.
Recall main uses of these alcohols.
, ALCOHOLS
The alcohols form a homologous series meaning all alcohols:
have the same general formula
differ by CH2 in molecular formulae from neighbouring compounds
show a gradual variation in physical properties, such as their boiling points
have similar chemical properties
The functional group in the alcohols is the hydroxyl group, -OH.
This functional group is responsible for the typical reactions of alc
