Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Step 1: Understand the functional group characteristic of alcohols. Alcohols contain a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a saturated carbon atom.
Step 2: Examine each compound name provided in the options to identify the presence of the hydroxyl group. Look for the suffix '-ol' which indicates an alcohol.
Step 3: Analyze the compound 'Methanol'. The name 'Methanol' includes the '-ol' suffix, suggesting it is an alcohol. Methanol is CH₃OH, where the hydroxyl group is attached to a single carbon atom.
Step 4: Review the other options: 'Propane', 'Butanal', and 'Ethanoic acid'. None of these names include the '-ol' suffix, indicating they are not alcohols. Propane is an alkane, Butanal is an aldehyde, and Ethanoic acid is a carboxylic acid.
Step 5: Conclude that Methanol is the only compound correctly named as an alcohol based on the presence of the hydroxyl group and the '-ol' suffix.
