a.
To determine:
Whether the given compound (a.) is primary, secondary or tertiary alcohol.
Introduction:
Alcohol is an organic compound which is produced by the process of fermentation of simple carbohydrates or sugars. Alcohols contain a carbon atom attached to hydroxyl (OH) groups and alkyl group. Alcohols are classified as primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohol on the basis of the number of alkyl groups attached to the alcoholic carbon which is attached to hydroxyl group.
Primary alcohols are those compounds in which the alcoholic carbon (OH bonded carbon) is attached to only one alkyl group.
Secondary alcohols are those compounds in which the alcoholic carbon (OH bonded carbon) is attached to two alkyl groups.
Tertiary alcohols are those compounds in which the alcoholic carbon (OH bonded carbon) is attached to three alkyl groups.

- Stingless bees use complex systems to communicate. One aspect of this communication is chemical: the bees produce 2-nonanol, 2-heptanol, and 2-undecanol in their mouthparts (mandibles) to direct other bees to pollen sources.
