There are three parts of the name here you have to look at in order to determine the type of bond: 'oct', 'an', and 'ol'. The first part (oct) is a prefix for 8. The 'an' means that is is an Alkene (only single bonds between the Carbons). 'Ol' means that it is an alcohol (an OH is bonded somewhere on the molecule). Also, because there are only non-metals involved here, it will have covalent (electron sharing) bonds. So it has covalent bonds with single bonds in between each carbon.

What type of intermolecular bonds would predominate in octanol?

The only intermolecular "bond" would be hydrogen "bonds". More appropriately, perhaps, one might as about the intermolcular "forces" in octanol. Since this is a primary alcohol, it will have hydrogen bonds (the strongest) and it will have London dispersion forces also.


How do you distinguish 1 octanol from 1 octene?

1-octanol is an alcohol, so it has an OH group attached to the first C atom. (C8H17OH) 1-octene is an alkene, which has a double bond between the first and second C atoms. (C8H16)

Why is Octanol an energy efficient fuel?

Is octanol soluble in water?

no it isn't. Since the molecule has over 7 carbon atoms it will not dissolve. Also, the Solubility of octanol is really small.
