What is the difference between primary secondary and tertiary alcohols?
Primary alcohols have the –OH group attached to a carbon atom that is bonded to only one other carbon atom, secondary alcohols have the –OH group attached to a carbon atom bonded to two other carbon atoms, and tertiary alcohols have the –OH group attached to a carbon atom bonded to three other carbon atoms. The classification is based on the number of carbon atoms bonded to the carbon atom holding the –OH group.
How you distinguise the primarysecondary and tartiary alchol?
Primary alcohols have the -OH group attached to a carbon atom that is only bonded to one other carbon atom. Secondary alcohols have the -OH group attached to a carbon atom that is bonded to two other carbon atoms. Tertiary alcohols have the -OH group attached to a carbon atom that is bonded to three other carbon atoms.
How many 'R' groups are bonded to the carbinol carbon of a secondary alcohol?
Two "R" alkyl groups are attached to carbinol carbon in secondary alcohlos
How can one determine the classification of alkyl halides as primary, secondary, or tertiary?
Alkyl halides can be classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary based on the number of carbon atoms directly bonded to the carbon atom that is attached to the halogen. In a primary alkyl halide, there is one carbon atom bonded to the carbon-halogen bond. In a secondary alkyl halide, there are two carbon atoms bonded to the carbon-halogen bond. In a tertiary alkyl halide, there are three carbon atoms bonded to the carbon-halogen bond.
Is 1-proponal a primary alcohol?
1-propanol is a primary alcohol. It has the hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a primary carbon, which is bonded to one other carbon atom in the molecule.
Alcohol in which the hydroxyl is attached to a carbon attached to three other carbons?
Tertiary
Linalool a tertiary alcohol?
Linalool is not a tertiary alcohol; it is a secondary alcohol. Tertiary alcohols have three alkyl groups attached to the carbon bearing the hydroxyl group, whereas linalool has two alkyl groups attached to this position.
What is the difference between primary secondary and tertiary alcohols?

Is 2-methylpentane an alkane alkene or an alcohol?
Yes but you have to draw it as a 3 carbon ring structure (like a triangle) and the 1st carbon would have a CH3 and an OH.
Is cyclohexane-1-3-diol a primary or a secondary or a tertiary alcohol?
Just check for how many carbon groups are attached to the carbon group that OH is on. Since OH can only bond to one carbon, you see how many other carbons are attached to that one. The maximum is 3, since carbon usually only has 4 bonds total, making it tertiary structure. Likewise, 2 carbon groups attached to that carbon makes it secondary, and one C group is primary. Just write out a diagram and it should be easy!
Is 1-proponal a primary alcohol?
1-propanol is a primary alcohol. It has the hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a primary carbon, which is bonded to one other carbon atom in the molecule.
How will you distinguish between primary secondary and tersiory alcohols?
Primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols can be distinguished based on the number of carbon atoms bonded to the carbon atom that carries the hydroxyl (-OH) group. In primary alcohols, the -OH group is attached to a carbon that is bonded to only one other carbon atom. In secondary alcohols, the -OH group is connected to a carbon bonded to two other carbons, while in tertiary alcohols, the -OH group is on a carbon bonded to three other carbons. This can be confirmed using chemical tests, such as oxidation reactions, where primary alcohols oxidize to aldehydes, secondary alcohols to ketones, and tertiary alcohols do not oxidize easily.
What class of alcohol is 2-methyl 2-butanol?
2-methyl 2-butanol is a tertiary alcohol, meaning the carbon atom bearing the hydroxyl group is attached to three other carbon atoms.
Can C3H6O be a secondary alcohol?
Methanol is a primary alcohol. You can't have a secondary alcohol until you get to propanol, where 1-propanol is a primary alcohol and 2-propanol is a secondary alcohol (also called sec-propyl alchohol or isopropanol). Secondary alcohols are alcohols where the -OH group is attached to a carbon that has two carbon groups attached to it. The first tertiary alcohol is t-butyl alcohol, otherwise known as 2-methyl-2-propanol. In that molecule the -OH group is attached to a carbon that has three carbon groups attached to it.
