This document summarizes key information about alcohols including their classification, physical properties, and uses. It lists common alcohols like methanol, ethanol, propan-1-ol, and butan-1-ol. It describes that primary alcohols have one carbon attached to the hydroxyl group, while secondary alcohols have two. The document also discusses how alcohols have higher boiling points than alkanes due to polarity. It provides examples of how solubility changes with alcohol size and explains their comparison to water. Finally, it gives details on methanol and ethanol, including their production and uses in drinks, fuels, and solvents.
