Organic-chemistry-2
So following on from organic-chemistry-1. Lets have a quick look at another group: Alcohols.
SO following the same naming convention as Alkanes, we name Alcohols in a similar way.
- Methanol ${CH3OH}$
- Ethanal ${C2}{H5}{OH}$
- Butanol ${C3H7}{OH}$
- Propaol ${C4H9}{OH}$
- Pentanol ${C5H11}{OH}$
So in the video below. I have taken Methane and Pentane and made Methanol and Pentanol respectively from these.
As an extension to this, we can of course also construct 3-Pentanol where the Functional alcohol group is on the 3rd carbon along the chain. See video below.
You may find Molview helpful for visualising molecules on your computer screen too. This could complement physical building which I find can help understanding further.
Hopefully this is helpful. Have fun.
