Question
**The Conjugate Base of Propan-1-ol:**

The conjugate base of propan-1-ol, \( \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH} \), is shown below:

**Structural Diagram:**

\[
\begin{align*}
  & \cdot\cdot \\
  & | \\
  & \text{O}^{-} \\
  & | \\
  \text{H}_3\text{C} & - \text{C} - \text{CH}_3 \\
  & | \\
  & \text{H}
\end{align*}
\]

**Description:**

In the structural diagram provided, the propan-1-ol molecule has lost a proton (\(\text{H}^+\)), resulting in the formation of its conjugate base. The double dots (\(\cdot\cdot\)) on the oxygen atom represent the lone pairs of electrons, and the negative sign (\(^{-}\)) indicates that the oxygen carries a negative charge.

**Multiple-Choice Question:**

**TRUE, FALSE OR IT DEPENDS:**

*(Additional context provided for this question may be useful. Answering this interactively helps in understanding the behavior of the conjugate base in different scenarios.)*
