What is C6h12OH?

Answer 1

It is an alcohol, with the name 'Hexanol'.

However, it then depends on the position in the chain of the alcohol functional group.

So you can have

Hexan-1-ol ( on the end carbon_

Hexan-2-ol ( on the 2nd. carbon in the chain)

Hexan-3-ol ( on the 3rd. carbon in the chain).

There is neither hexan-4-ol, nor hexan-5-ol , because they are mirror images of '-2ol' and '-3ol'.

Structures

Hexan-1-ol CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2OH

Hexan-2-ol CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH(OH)-CH3

Hexan-3-ol CH3-CH2-CH2-CH(OH)-CH2-CH3
