Oxidation of a primary alcohol results in an Aldahyde, 2 molecules of primary alcohol oxidized results in an ether, oxidization of a secondary alcohol end product is a ketone. Oxidation of a primary alcohol results in an Aldahyde, 2 molecules of primary alcohol oxidized results in an ether, oxidization of a secondary alcohol end product is a ketone.
The partial oxidation of alcohol means conversion of alcohols to aldehydes
OIL RIG. Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain (of electrons, or of Hydrogen) Oxidation is gain of oxygen, reduction is loss of oxygen. In answer to your question, oxidation of a primary alkanol (alcohol) gives you an alkanal or aldehyde, and what is removed is an atom of H.
oxidation of alcohol results in the formation of various carbonyl compounds, depending upon the structure of alcohol. For example, oxidation of secondary alcohol results in the formation of ketone, while that of primary alcohol forms aldehyde and further oxidation forms carboxylic acids.
The oxidation number of the carbon atom in isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O) is -2, and for the oxygen atom, it is -2. The hydrogen atoms each have an oxidation number of +1.

The chemical equation for the oxidation of sec-butyl alcohol can be written as: Sec-butyl alcohol + [O] -> Sec-butyl aldehyde + H2O
When alcohol is oxidized it becomes acetaldehyde, which is toxic. The acetaldehyde quickly become acetate, and then finally carbon dioxide and water.
The primary organ involved in metabolizing alcohol is the liver.
Minimal oxidation will produce an aldehyde, stronger oxidation will produce a carboxylic acid, and complete oxidation will produce carbon dioxide and water.

primary alcohols become produce aldehydes when oxidized and carboxylic acid upon further oxidation. secondary alcohol oxidation produces ketone. while tertiary alcohols has no reaction except if combustion is applied.
The product of the oxidation of a primary alcohol is a carboxylic acid.
