4:30

4:30 (Triple only) understand how to draw structural and displayed formulae for methanol, ethanol, propanol (propan-1-ol only) and butanol (butan-1-ol only), and name each compound, the names propanol and butanol are acceptable

Structural formula and displayed formula for methanol:

CH₃-OH

 

Structural formula and displayed formula for ethanol:

CH₃-CH₂-OH                    (or simply C₂H₅OH)

Image result for ethanol

 

Structural formula and displayed formula for propan-1-ol:

CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-OH

 

Structural formula and displayed formula for butan-1-ol:

CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-OH
