alkoholow
Alkoholow is a term used in chemistry to describe alcohol compounds, collectively known as alcohols or alkanols in systematic nomenclature. They are characterized by one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to carbon atoms of an organic molecule. The general formula is ROH, where R denotes an alkyl or other hydrocarbon group. Alcohols range from simple molecules such as methanol (CH3OH) and ethanol (C2H5OH) to larger polyols like glycerol (C3H8O3). They are typically classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary according to how many carbon atoms are bonded to the carbon bearing the hydroxyl group.
Alcoholow exhibit a wide range of physical properties but share common features due to hydrogen bonding. They
Industrial and biological relevance is broad. Production methods include catalytic hydration of alkenes (such as ethene
Safety and environmental considerations vary by alcoholow. They are generally flammable and may be toxic in
