Section 1

📖

Lecture & walkthrough

The complete written lesson — classification of alcohols, their preparation & physical properties (hydrogen bonding), the reactions of the –OH group, the oxidation ladder, the distinguishing tests (Lucas, oxidation, iodoform), phenols & their acidity, and ethers (Williamson synthesis).

As you scroll, a live D3 panel animates every idea: the 1°/2°/3° carbon, the O–H···O hydrogen-bond network, the oxidation ladder turning orange K₂Cr₂O₇ green, the Lucas-test tubes going cloudy, and phenol giving a violet colour with FeCl₃.

Practical experiment

Oxidise 1°, 2° and 3° alcohols with warm acidified K₂Cr₂O₇ on a rotatable 3D bench and watch the orange dichromate turn green — a guided hybrid practical with live D3 results.
