Alcohols are a family of organic compounds characterized by a hydroxyl group (-OH). There are many different alcohols, and some are miscible in water while others are not. Low molecular weight alcohols having one carbon (methanol), two carbons (ethanol), and three carbons (n-propanol and isopropanol) are miscible in water, as is tert-butanol. Less branched butanols and alcohols having five or more carbons behave more like hydrocarbons and are immiscible in water.

Example of miscible?

An example of miscible liquids is ethanol and water. When mixed together, they form a homogeneous solution with uniform composition. This is because the molecular structures of ethanol and water allow them to mix evenly at the molecular level.
