There can be a number of different heteroatoms depending on which alcohol it is. The heteroatom that would be common between all alcohols is oxygen.
Amines contain a nitrogen atom bonded to one or more carbon atoms, while aldehydes contain a carbonyl group and alcohols contain a hydroxyl group. Nitrogen is the element found in amines that is not present in aldehydes and alcohols.
Ter. alcohols are those in which alpha carbon (carbon bearing halogen atom) is attached to three other carbon atoms, in aldehyde there is only one and in ketones there are two carbons attached to alpha carbon so by hydrogenation aldehydes may be converted into primary alcohols and ketones into secondary alcohols so preparation of ter. alcohols is not possible. however ketones with Grignard's reagents may produce tertiary alcohols.
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.
There are 10 hydrogen atoms present in 4C2H5OH.

Amines contain a nitrogen atom bonded to one or more carbon atoms, while aldehydes contain a carbonyl group and alcohols contain a hydroxyl group. Nitrogen is the element found in amines that is not present in aldehydes and 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.
Either carbohydrates or alcohols, depending on the molecule in question.
Oxygen is a pure substance, so it is a homoatomic molecule, meaning it consists of two oxygen atoms.
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.
No, alcohols are not saturated hydrocarbons. Alcohols contain a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group, which is not present in saturated hydrocarbons. Saturated hydrocarbons consist only of carbon-carbon single bonds and carbon-hydrogen bonds.
The Lucas Test is limited to alcohols which are soluble in the Lucas reagent, because otherwise, the test will not produce the second insoluble layer. These also include some poly-functional alcohols, and often have less than 6 carbon atoms.
Ter. alcohols are those in which alpha carbon (carbon bearing halogen atom) is attached to three other carbon atoms, in aldehyde there is only one and in ketones there are two carbons attached to alpha carbon so by hydrogenation aldehydes may be converted into primary alcohols and ketones into secondary alcohols so preparation of ter. alcohols is not possible. however ketones with Grignard's reagents may produce tertiary alcohols.
Alcohols are typically more volatile than organic acids because alcohols have lower molecular weights and fewer functional groups that contribute to volatility. Organic acids have additional functional groups, such as carboxylic acid groups, that tend to reduce their volatility compared to alcohols.
Nitrogen is a chemical element not a mixture.
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.
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.
