The solubility of an alcohol depends on the length of the alkyl chain in the molecule.

<h3>What is an alcohol?</h3>

An alcohol is an organic compound that contains the -OH group. We have to note that the shape of an alcohol have a profound impact on its solubility. tert-butanol is the most soluble of the three because of its small surface area.

Based on size, 1-butanol is relatively more soluble than 1-pentanol because solubility of alcohols decreases as the length of the alkyl chain increases.

Why do atoms of nonmetals form anions? Support your answer with an example.

Papessa [141]

Nonmetals form negatively charged ions, or anions. They do this because they need to gain one to three electrons in order to achieve an octet of valence electrons, making them isoelectronic with the noble gas at the end of the period to which they belong.
