ethanol has the formula C2H5OH and is suitable for consumption by humans,isopropyl alcohol(C3H8O) is an isomer of propanol with the OH alcohol functional group on the second carbon as opposed to at the end of the chain as normal,whats marketed as isopropyl alcohol(rubbing alcohol) in America actually contains no isopropyl alcohol as far as i know,just denatured ethanol.isopropyl aclohol is a skin irritant and is metabolised to acetone in the body,it is about twice as toxic as ethanol
The hydroxyl group (-OH).
Rubbing alcohol is a liquid.
Propane-1,2-diol has 2 functional groups. The functional group of alcohol is -OH. This is a di alcohol.
Characteristics of an alcohol molecule: -A straight chain of carbon and hydrogen -an OH group attached to the carbon-hydrogen skeleton -no other functional groups attached Ex: methanol CH2OH (wood alcohol) ethanol C2H5OH (grain alcohol) isopropyl alcohol C3H7OH (rubbing alcohol) There are various other forms these are the most familiar to most people.
A functional group is a group that defines the molecule.As you know the molecule in question is an alcohol then the functional group is an OH group
Hydroxyl group, -OH
The functional group in alcohols is -OH (hydroxyl).
