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.

What is more reactive acetone or alcohol?
Acetone is more reactive than alcohol. The reason for this, is because alcohol dries up extremely quickly, and it evaporates fast, so it doesn't have much time to react.
What classification of alcohol undergoes oxidation to yield a ketone?
A secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation to yield a ketone; a primary alcohol forms an aldehyde instead, and a tertiary alcohol usually does not form either a ketone or an alcohol, because the carbon having the OH group in a tertiary alcohol already has three bonds to other carbon atoms and therefore cannot form a double bond to oxygen without more extensive breaking of other bonds in the tertiary alcohol.
What classification of alcohol is resistant to oxidation?
tertiary
Linalool a tertiary alcohol?
yes it is a tertiary because it is off a 3rd carbon from the main strand of Carbon chain.Type your answer here...
Why does tertiary butyl alcohol and 2butanol mix with water?
They are polar compounds.
Which is more reactive and why monohydroxy alcohol or polyhydroxy alcohol?
Monohydroxy alcohol is more reactive because it is less viscous and it exhibits less H bonding of molecules.
What is more reactive acetone or alcohol?
Acetone is more reactive than alcohol. The reason for this, is because alcohol dries up extremely quickly, and it evaporates fast, so it doesn't have much time to react.
Which alcohol is not oxidized by chromic acid?
A Tertiary alcohol

What is the relative reactivity of Secondary and tertiary alcohols towards oxidation with potassium permanganate?
primary alcohol reacts the fastest towards oxidation followed by secondary alcohol and tertiary alcohol.
What classification of alcohol is resistant to oxidation?
tertiary
What is more reactive an aldehyde or an acid chloride?
Acid chloride is more reactive than aldehyde. Aldehyde is more reactive than ketone, which is more reactive than ester, which is more reactive than amides.
The single oxidation of a tertiary alcohol forms?
no reaction.
Is a 2-methylpentan-3-ol a primary or secondary or tertiary alcohol?
it is a secondary alcohol
What is the difference between Dehydration of primary secondary and tertiary alcohol?
In a primary (1°) alcohol, only attached to one alkyl group; In a secondary (2°) alcohol, attached two alkyl groups & tertiary (3°) alcohol, attached three alkyl groups Actually, that person has you more confused. This is an easy way to remember what is 1 degree, 2 degree or 3 degree of Alcohols. 1 degree: R-- CH2 -- OH 2 degree: R2 -- CH -- OH 3 degree: R3 -- C -- OH R = CH3
