Contain an oxygen-hydrogen bond leading to hydrogen bonding between alcohol molecules, tend to be liquid at room temperature, melting and boiling points increase with the length of the carbon chain, solubility decreases as the length of the carbon chain increases
Experience Van der Waals forces, dipole-dipole forces, carboxylic acids have a hydroxyl group leading to hydrogen bonding, melting and boiling points increase with the length of the carbon chain, solubility decreases as the molecule gets longer
