Interpretation:
The structure of the product (
Concept Introduction:

In organic chemistry, reduction reaction is referred to the number
Alcohols do undergo
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of the product (aldehyde or ketone) formed when the given alcohol undergoes oxidation has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
In organic chemistry, oxidation reaction is referred to the number
In organic chemistry, reduction reaction is referred to the number
Alcohols do undergo oxidation reaction and reduction reaction. This depends upon the number of hydrogen atoms that is bonded to the alpha carbon atom. Primary and secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation reaction while tertiary alcohol does not undergo oxidation reaction. Primary alcohols undergo oxidation to give aldehyde and carboxylic acid as product. Secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation to give ketone as the product.
(c)
Interpretation:
The structure of the product (aldehyde or ketone) formed when the given alcohol undergoes oxidation has to be drawn.
