    Ethanol, also known as alcohol, is the active ingredient in alcoholic beverages like beer, wine, and liquor. It is a psychoactive substance that causes effects like mood lifting, relaxation, and impaired cognitive function. Chemically, ethanol is an organic compound with the formula C2H5OH, consisting of a carbon chain with an hydroxyl group. Alcohols can be classified based on factors like the number of alcohol groups (mono, di, polyhydric) and the carbon to which the alcohol group is attached (primary, secondary, tertiary). Common types of alcohol include ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and methanol.

    ALCOHOL

    GROUP 1
    Chemical structure of Alcohol

    Alcohols are organic molecules


    assembled from carbon (C), oxygen
    (O), and hydrogen (H) atoms. When 2
    carbons are present, the alcohol is
    called ethanol (also known as ethyl
    alcohol). Ethanol is the form of
    alcohol contained in beverages
    including beer, wine, and liquor.
    Alcohol, also known by its chemical name ethanol, is a
    psychoactive substance that is the active ingredient in drinks
    such as beer, wine, and distilled spirits (hard liquor). It is one of
    the oldest and most common recreational substances, causing
    the characteristic effects of alcohol intoxication
    ("drunkenness").Among other effects, alcohol produces a
    mood lift and euphoria, decreased anxiety, increased
    sociability, sedation, impairment of cognitive, memory, motor,
    and sensory function, and generalized depression of central
    nervous system function. Ethanol is a type of chemical
    compound known as an alcohol, and is the only type of alcohol
    that is found in alcoholic beverages or is commonly used for
    recreational purposes; other alcohols such as methanol and
    isopropyl alcohol are toxic.
    The chemical composition of ethanol can be
    represented either as a
    1) molecular formula
    2) structural formula
    The molecular formula of ethanol is C2H6O,
    indicating that ethanol contains two carbons
    and an oxygen. However, the structural
    formula of ethanol, C2H5OH, provides a little
    more detail, and indicates that there is an
    hydroxyl group (-OH) at the end of the 2-
    carbon chain
    NOMENCLATURE
    The alcohol functional group HYDROXYL is an –OH group .
    When naming alcohols , the –e is removed from the
    hydrocarbon name and an –ol suffix is added . A number in
    front of the hydrocarbon name tells the location of the alcohol
    group.

    For example
    1 butanol , there are four carbon atoms, so the parent
    hydrocarbon name is butane . The –e is dropped from butane
    and –ol is added, resulting a butanol . The one indicates the
    alcohol group(-OH) is on the first carbon.
    Alcohol Molecule Classification
    Molecules can be classified based on the number of alcohol groups.

    MONOHYDRIC
    One alcohol group on the molecule

    DIHYDRIC
    Two alcohol group on the molecule

    POLYHYDRIC
    More than 2 alcohol groups on the molecule
    Alcohols are known to be one among
    most of the commonly occurring organic
    compounds. These are utilized in the
    form of sweeteners, preparation of
    perfumes, and sometimes in the process
    of synthesizing other compounds,
    wherein some other are abundantly
    manufactured in organic chemicals
    coming in various industries.
    Alcohol Functional Group
    Classification
    Alcohols can be classified based on the carbon to which they
    are attached.

    Primary alcohols
    The carbon is attached to a carbon with two hydrogens.

    Secondary Alcohols
    The carbon is attached to a carbon with one hydrogen.

    Tertiary Alcohols
    The carbon atom is attached with no hydrogen
    3 TYPES OF ALCOHOL

    Isoprophyl
    Is also called isopropanol or 2-propanol or
    rubbing alcohol(C3H8O) more commonly
    find use among physicians ,who rub the
    poisonous substance onto surfaces ,tools
    and human body for it’s cooling and
    disinfecting properties.
    Methyl Alcohol
    Also called methanol and ewood alcohol,
    primarily finds use as an industrial solvent.

    Ethyl Alcohol
    Sometimes called grain alcohol ,in beverages.
    People usually imbibe ethyl alcohol in a diluted
    solution.
