What's the structure of 2 propanol?

2-propanol, also known as isopropanol or isopropyl alcohol, has a molecular formula of C3H8O. It consists of a chain of three carbon atoms, each bonded to hydrogen atoms, with a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the second carbon atom. This molecule is commonly used as a solvent, disinfectant, and rubbing alcohol.


How many carbon atoms does fumarate have?

four carbon atoms


What makes 2 propanol polar?

2-propanol (isopropyl alcohol) is polar because of the presence of the hydroxyl (OH) functional group, which creates a separation of charge within the molecule. The oxygen atom attracts electrons more strongly than the carbon atoms, resulting in a partial negative charge on the oxygen and a partial positive charge on the carbon atoms.


How many carbon atoms are in fumarate?

four carbon atoms


How many carbon atoms are in butyne?

There are 4 carbon atoms in butyne.


What is a a three carbon alcohol found in fats?

Are propanol and isopropanol isomers?

Propanol and isopropanol are isomers. Isopropanol is the structural isomer of propanol. It has a strong smell and is without any color.


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.


What happens to propanol when it reacts with oxygen?

When propanol reacts with oxygen in the presence of a catalyst, it undergoes combustion to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat energy. This is a exothermic reaction where the bonds in propanol and oxygen are broken to form new bonds in carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy in the process.


How many Atoms can a single carbon Atoms bond with?

carbon can bond with 4 different atoms.


How many carbon atoms does nonane have?

Nonane has 9 carbon atoms and the formula of C9H20


Is CH3CH2CH2OH alkane?

No, CH3CH2CH2OH is not an alkane but an alcohol. Alkanes are hydrocarbons with only single bonds between carbon atoms, while alcohols contain a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to a carbon atom. In this case, CH3CH2CH2OH is specifically known as 1-propanol.
