FAQs on Alcohols & Ethers PPT Chemistry Class 12

1. What are alcohols and ethers?
Ans. Alcohols are organic compounds that contain a hydroxyl (-OH) group bonded to a carbon atom. Ethers, on the other hand, are organic compounds that have an oxygen atom bonded to two carbon atoms.
2. What are the main differences between alcohols and ethers?
Ans. The main difference between alcohols and ethers is the functional group present. Alcohols have a hydroxyl group (-OH), while ethers have an oxygen atom bonded to two carbon atoms. Additionally, alcohols can participate in hydrogen bonding, whereas ethers cannot.
3. What are the common uses of alcohols and ethers?
Ans. Alcohols have various applications, such as being used as solvents, antiseptics, disinfectants, and fuel additives. Ethers are commonly used as solvents and as starting materials for the synthesis of other organic compounds.
4. How are alcohols and ethers named?
Ans. Alcohols are named by replacing the -e ending of the corresponding alkane with -ol. For example, methane becomes methanol. Ethers are named by listing the alkyl groups bonded to the oxygen atom in alphabetical order, followed by the word "ether." For example, ethyl methyl ether.
5. What are the physical and chemical properties of alcohols and ethers?
Ans. Alcohols and ethers have similar physical properties, such as being colorless liquids with pleasant odors. They are generally less dense than water and have lower boiling points compared to similar-sized hydrocarbons. In terms of chemical properties, alcohols can undergo oxidation reactions to form carbonyl compounds, while ethers are relatively unreactive.
