Question

1.Though the compounds such as Glucose and alcohol have Hydrogen atoms in their molecules yet they are not catagorised as acids why?

Answer 1

Dear Student!
The acidity is defined as the tendency to release H⁺ ions. Though, the glucose or alcohols have H-atom, but the atom is not bonded so that it could be lost during the reaction and so the molecules do not release H⁺ ions and so are not acidic in nature. However, in some alcohols the H-atom is released and so have little acidity.
