NEET Chemistry Classification MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing the structure of three types of alcohols where the hydroxyl group is attached to different carbon atoms. Which type of alcohol has the hydroxyl group attached to an sp3 hybridised carbon atom of a secondary carbon?
Secondary alcohol
Primary alcohol
Tertiary alcohol
Allylic alcohol
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Secondary alcohols have the hydroxyl group attached to an sp3 hybridised carbon atom that is bonded to two other carbon atoms. This classification is based on the carbon atom's hybridisation and position.
