What are alcohols?
Alcohols are organic compounds formed from hydrocarbons by replacing one or more hydroxyl groups with an equal number of hydrogen atoms.
what studies the chemistry?
Chemistry is the study of matter
The clasification of alcohols
Primary alcohols, Secondary alcohols, Tertiary alcohols
How many chemical elements are in the periodic table?
118
Mencion 3 characteristics
• Toxic and even lethal to the human body.
• They are soluble in water.
• Colorless liquids.
•They are organic compounds.
•They have antibacterial and antiseptic properties.
When are alcohols used?
Are used in the production of other organic compounds in laboratories.
How much is a mole equivalent?
6.022 × 10²³
Secondary alcohols
can lose it's only a hydrogen to become a ketone.
What is the Periodic Table?
The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of chemical elements that is arranged by increasing atomic number and groups elements according to recurring properties
Chemistry properties
Alcohols can behave like acids or
bases thanks to the fact that the functional group is similar to the
water, so a very similar dipole is established
to that presented by the water molecule.
Primary alcohols
contains two a hydrogens, so it can lose one of them to give an aldehyde, both to form a carboxylic acid.
Mencion 3 characteristics
• Toxic and even lethal to the human body.
• They are soluble in water.
• Colorless liquids.
•They are organic compounds.
•They have antibacterial and antiseptic properties.
Tertiary alcohols
Has no a hydrogen, so it is not oxidized. (However, an acidic agent can dehydrate it to an alkene and then oxidize the alkene).
industrial products, such as disinfectants, cleaners, solvents and perfume bases.
Physical properties
Alcohols usually be colorless liquids with an odor
characteristic, soluble in water in
variable proportion and
less dense than it. By increasing the molecular mass, their points increase melting and boiling, and may be solids at room temperature
