How does the molecular structure, intermolecular forces, and chemical bonds affect the properties of alcohols?
Please provide as much detail as possible and if possible give examples Please type or the write the answer out clearly.
You have not mentioned which properties kf alcohols should be considered ie. Physical or chemical.
Esterification of alcohols can be easily done in presence of any acid as well as any base.
There can be dehydration reactions of alcohols in presence of conc. Sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid act as dehydrating agent. These two properties are not nearly not dependent upon bonding and intermolecular forces. All other properties are detailed as ..
