Compared with alkanes, alcohols have significantly higher boiling points. The hydroxyl groups in alcohol molecules are responsible for hydrogen bonding between the alcohol molecules. As greater ...
There are three types of alcohol molecules. The type of alcohol is determined by the position of the hydroxyl functional group. A primary alcohol is one in which the hydroxyl group (–OH ...
Some atoms and molecules in space emit radio waves at particular frequencies. Hydrogen atoms emit at 1420 MHz (a wavelength of 21 cm). Hydroxyl molecules, composed of one atom of hydrogen and one atom ...
HYDROXYL groups have been proposed as catalytic agents for reactions involving molecules sorbed in dehydrated zeolites 1, and there has been extensive infrared study of them (see refs. 2 and 3 for ...
Hydroxyl Radicals in Space Although these molecules are far less abundant In the interstellar medium than atoms of hydrogen are, radio astronomers find that they reveal many fresh facts about the ...
RECENTLY 1 I suggested, on theoretical grounds, that the splitting of α-glycols to aldehydes or ketones by means of lead tetra-acetate was due to dehydrogenation by free acetate radicals.
