Oxidation of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohol - Revision for A-Level Chemistry

I want to help you achieve the grades you (and I) know you are capable of; these grades are the stepping stone to your future. Even if you don't want to study science or maths further, the grades you get now will open doors in the future.

The 'whole of the topic in … minutes' videos DO NOT comprehensively cover everything you need to know for your exams. It would be impossible to include 2 years of teaching in 1 hour. These should NOT be your only source of revision • Do the 'whole topic in... My exam predictions are just GUESSES!! I don't have any insider knowledge just years of looking at exam papers.

I am human, and I make mistakes, please point out any that you find and there is no need to follow that with a load of abuse.

I genuinely appreciate this so much, thank you!

[@Primrose_Kitten]

You're so welcome!

[@oswin4715]

Thank you. Pls make a video on synthetic routes

what actually happens to the hydrogens? ( 4:50 )

[@manomaylr]

The oxidizing agent [O] is looking to get reduced i.e. gain electrons - it does this by locking onto two hydrogens each to form water molecules. So the oxygen pulls two hydrogens away from the molecule, and one of the remaining bonds folds down to create a double bond.

You get water as well as a waste product I think

[@triplemgaming5103]

So tertiary alcohols can’t be oxidized?

[@AM-we3if]

they can't be oxidised with acidified potassium dichromate, the only way to oxidise tertiary alcohols is by burning them
