| Alcohol is a chemical organic coupound part of the alkanol family. The ehtanol coumpound is CH3-CH2-OH. Alcohol is a colorless liquid with a burning taste that has a characteristic odor. Its boiling point is 78.4 degrees C. Ehtanol can produce sythetics by oxidation of ethanol gases. The coumpound make up of this is C2H4+H2O---->CH3-CH2-OH. Ethyl alcohol can form a hydrogen-bonds and exibits intermolecular association the same way water does( veiw picture to the left). |

| Distilled alcohol contains 4-6% water. Unlike water, ethanol has a non-polar ethly portion of capable Vabn der Waals interaction. The chemical make up of alcohol is a balance between polar-OH group and its non-polar group (CH3-CH2-). The picture to the right shows this. | |||||||||||||||
