Question

The given alcohol is _______ (primary/ secondary) alcohol.
(If your answer is primary type 1 else 2)

Answer 1

Alcohols are those organic compounds which are characterized by the presence of one, two or more hydroxyl groups (−OH) that are attached to the carbon atom in an alkyl group or hydrocarbon chain.

If the -OH group is attached to primary carbon atom then it is called primary alcohol.

So, given compound is a primary alcohol.
