    Glycerol has

    A)  1-primary-OH, 2-secondary-OH

    B)  2-primary-OH, 1 secondary-OH

    C)  3-primary-OH

    D)  1-primary-OH, 1 secondary OH, 1-tertiary OH

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Glycerol has two types of\[OH\]groups. Two \[OH\]groups\[(1{}^\circ )\]are primary but one\[OH\] group\[(2{}^\circ )\]is secondary \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  ^{{{1}^{o}}}C{{H}_{2}}OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  ^{^{{{1}^{o}}}C{{H}_{2}}OH} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{^{^{{{2}^{o}}}CHOH}}}}\,\] Note: Glycerol is highly viscous due to entensive intermolecular H bonding.
