What is an alcohol molecule with two hydroxyl (OH) groups
Its called a diol, e.g ethane - 1,2 diol

What are triols
Alcohols with three hydroxyl groups, e.g propane - 1,2,3 - triol

What happens if an alcohol has another functional group
The alcohol is treated as the parent molecule, suffix ends in ol, this is shown here

What functional groups have naming priority over alcohol functional group
Aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids
In these cases, the molecule is named based on higher priority functional group
Alcohol group is shown by prefix hydroxy
E.g , 3-hydroxypropanol and 1-hydroxypropan-2-one
Whats primary alcohol
The carbon atom bonded to hydroxyl group is bonded to one other carbon atom

What is secondary alcohol
The carbon atom is bonded to hydroxyl group, is bonded to two other carbon atoms

What is tertiary alcohol
The carbon atom bonded to the hydroxyl group is bonded to three other carbon atoms
