Chapter 13, Problem 13.45AQAP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Monohydric alcohols are primary, secondary, tertiary alcohols. Alcohols are named according to number of carbon attached to carbon bearing hydroxyl group.

Primary alcohols: The alcohol in which –OH group is attached to a primary carbon atom are called primary alcohols.

Example:

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, Books a la Carte Plus Mastering Chemistry with eText -- Access Card Package (5th Edition), Chapter 13, Problem 13.45AQAP , additional homework tip  1

Secondary Alcohol: The alcohol containing ---OH group attached to a secondary carbon atom are called secondary alcohol. Ex:

CH3CH2C|OHHCH3               2-Butanol

Tertiary alcohol: The alcohol containing ---OH group attached to a tertiary carbon atom are called tertiary alcohol. Example:

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, Books a la Carte Plus Mastering Chemistry with eText -- Access Card Package (5th Edition), Chapter 13, Problem 13.45AQAP , additional homework tip  2

Therefore we can say number of carbons attached to carbon bearing the hydroxyl group determines the type of alcohol.
