What are alcohols, phenols, and ethers in chemistry?
Answer (1)
- Alcohols: Organic compounds containing a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a saturated carbon atom (sp3 hybridized). The general formula is R-OH, where R is an alkyl group.
- Phenols: Organic compounds containing a hydroxyl (-OH) group directly attached to an aromatic ring (benzene ring).
- Ethers: Organic compounds containing an oxygen atom bonded to two alkyl or aryl groups. The general formula is R-O-R' where R and R' can be the same or different alkyl or aryl groups.
