[PDF] alcohols chemistry gcse

Alcohols contain a bond between O-H, where the oxygen is bonded to a carbon. This is their functional group, used in reactions. As we have seen with alkanes and alkenes, alcohols can also be named. The first four alcohols in the homologous series are called methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol.

  • What is the formula for alcohols GCSE?

    The general formula for the alcohols is C nH 2n+1OH (where n is the number of carbon atoms in the molecule).

  • What are the properties of alcohols GCSE?

    Alcohols are part of a homologous series. Alcohols have similar properties since they are all part of the same homologous series. These properties include being flammable, being water soluble and being oxidised.

  • What are the 4 types of alcohol chemistry?

    The 4 types of alcohol are isopropyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, undistilled ethanol, and distilled ethanol.

    Isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol, or isopropanol, is made from propylene gas and has strong disinfecting properties. Methyl alcohol. Undistilled ethanol. Distilled ethanol.
  • Thus, the first member of the alcohol homologous series is methyl alcohol, the second is ethyl alcohol, the third member is propyl alcohol and the fourth member is butyl alcohol.
