Concept Introduction : Alcohols are organic compounds represented by a general formula −OH. Alcohols are the family of compounds containing one or more hydroxyl groups connected via a single bond to the alkane. If the hydroxyl group is connected to the carbon which is connected to only one other carbon, then the alcohol is called primary. If the hydroxyl group is connected to the carbon which is connected to other two carbon, then the alcohol is called secondary. If the hydroxyl group is connected to a carbon which is connected to other three carbon, then the alcohol is called tertiary.
