Alcohols
An alcohol is a functional group that contains a carbon chain bonded to a hydrogen atom. The carbon chain can be straight or branched, and the hydrogen atom can be bonded to any carbon atom in the chain. Alcohols can have various structures, including primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols.
Phenols
A phenol is a functional group that contains a carbon chain bonded to an oxygen atom. The carbon chain can be straight or branched, and the oxygen atom can be bonded to any carbon atom in the chain. Phenols are similar to alcohols, but they have a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the carbon chain.
Ethers
An ether is a functional group that contains a carbon chain bonded to both an oxygen atom and a hydrogen atom. The carbon chain can be straight or branched, and the oxygen atom and hydrogen atom can be bonded to any carbon atom in the chain. Ethers are similar to alcohols, but they have a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the carbon atom that is bonded to the oxygen atom
