Short chain alcohol soluble?

Alcohol is an organic compound that has a hydroxyl functional group bound to a carbon atom. A short-chain alcohol have alkyl chains of one to three carbons.


Is ethanol primary or secondary alcohol?

In order to be a secondary alcohol, the carbon with the alcohol moiety must be bonded to two other carbons. There are only two carbons total in ethanol, so it cannot possibly be a secondary alcohol. The smallest/lowest molecular weight secondary alcohol is cyclopropanol, which has three carbons: one for the alcohol group, and two others for it to be bonded to.


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).

What are the 3 names for the different sizes of sugar?

Names for carbohydrates are characteristic in that they end in '-ose'. For saccarides (sugars), they either have the prefix 'aldo' or 'keto' to signify whether they have aldehyde or ketone functional groups, respectively. The middle part signifies the number of carbons. Example: Aldotriose (sugar with aldehyde functional group and has three carbons) Ketopentose (sugar with ketone functional group and has five carbons) Aldohexose (ketone, six carbons)
