In this episode, we discuss alcohol and the smallest alcohols.

Alcohols are organic compounds characterised by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH). They form a homologous series with a general chemical formula of CnH2n+1OH.

The episode specifically outlines the four smallest members of this series.

These are presented in order of increasing size: methanol (CH3OH), ethanol (CH3CH2OH), propanol (CH3CH2CH2OH), and butanol (CH3CH2CH2CH2OH).

The information therefore serves as a basic introduction to the structural features and initial members of the alcohol family.
