NEET Chemistry Classification MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12
Consider a diagram showing three distinct alcohol molecules, each with an -OH group attached to different carbon hybridizations. Which type of alcohol is characterized by having the -OH group attached to a carbon atom that is sp3 hybridized and part of an alkyl group, but not directly connected to a benzene ring?
A
Primary alcohol
B
Phenol
C
Allylic alcohol
D
Tertiary alcohol
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, primary alcohols have their -OH group attached to an sp3 hybridized carbon atom of an alkyl group. Phenols have the -OH group attached to an sp2 hybridized carbon in a benzene ring, and allylic alcohols have the -OH group attached to an alkene-adjacent carbon.
