The simplest alcohol is ethanol, which is the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. Alcohols are classified according to their molecular structure. Alkanols, or primary alcohols, contain a single hydroxyl group attached to a saturated carbon atom. Alkandiols, or secondary alcohols, contain two hydroxyl groups attached to two different carbon atoms. Tertiary alcohols have three hydroxyl groups attached to three different carbon atoms.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Structure_of_Phenol\"><\/span>Structure of Phenol<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Phenol is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C6H5OH. It is a white solid that is slightly soluble in water. Phenol consists of a hydroxyl group (-OH) bonded to a benzene ring. The hydroxyl group makes phenol a strong acid, and the benzene ring makes phenol a aromatic hydrocarbon.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ether_Structure\"><\/span>Ether Structure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Ethereum platform is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of fraud or third party interference.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of fraud or third party interference.<\/p>\n<p>Ether is a necessary element &#8212; a fuel &#8212; for operating the distributed application platform Ethereum.
