The physical properties of alcohols

Alcohols exhibit high boiling points (due to H-bonding), water solubility (short-chain alcohols), lower density than water, and polar hydroxyl (-OH) groups. Boiling points rise with carbon chain length; solubility decreases with larger nonpolar parts. These properties dictate their use as solvents or reagents.
