Why tertiary alcohol is more reactive?

Tertiary alcohols are also bonded to three other carbon atoms (whereas secondary alcohols are bonded to two, primary alcohols to one). These other carbon atoms share their electronegative charges with the middle carbon.


Is Methyl the functional group that is commonly found in alcohols?

No, methyl is not a functional group commonly found in alcohols. The functional group that is commonly found in alcohols is the hydroxyl group (-OH). Methyl, on the other hand, is a functional group commonly found in compounds called methyl groups (-CH3).

Why teritay alcohol cannot be made by hydrogenation of aldehydes or ketones?

Ter. alcohols are those in which alpha carbon (carbon bearing halogen atom) is attached to three other carbon atoms, in aldehyde there is only one and in ketones there are two carbons attached to alpha carbon so by hydrogenation aldehydes may be converted into primary alcohols and ketones into secondary alcohols so preparation of ter. alcohols is not possible. however ketones with Grignard's reagents may produce tertiary alcohols.


Are alcohols more reactive than ethers?

No, ethers are generally less reactive than alcohols. Alcohols have a hydroxyl group (-OH) that can participate in various chemical reactions such as oxidation, dehydration, and nucleophilic substitution. Ethers, on the other hand, lack such a reactive functional group and are generally more inert.


Is ethyl alcohol effective in killing bacteria and other microorganism in laboratory?

Yes. Alcohol is a very effective disinfectant. All forms of alcohol are chemical "cousins", so-to-speak, and share certain atributes. Alcohols have many uses, depending on the strength, and other chemical atributes particular to each type. Alcohol (in general) is: A poison A disinfectant A solvent An anti-freeze agent And many more uses! Potable alcohols are the weakest of the alcohols. These are liquors that you can drink, without dying. However, drinking extreme amounts results in fatal alcohol poisoning. Rubbing alcohols are stronger. These are Isopropyl & Ethyl alcohols that you can buy in drug stores, and are most commonly used for disinfecting. If you drink them you will get very sick or can even die. They are meant to be used topically, on your skin & do not affect latex. Industrial alcohols are even stronger. These are things like paint thinner (mineral spirits) & M-E-K ("Methyl-Ethyl-Keytone" an industial solvent, even stronger than paint thinner). Drinking these will kill you. Getting these on your skin can cause chemical burns. They will dissolve latex gloves & special chemical resistant gloves must be used when working with them. There are many different types of alcohols these are just a few.
