Butanols

/ˈbjuːtəˌnɔlz/ noun

Definition

Plural of butanol; multiple types or instances of four-carbon alcohols, including different isomeric forms like n-butanol and isobutanol.

Etymology

Regular plural of 'butanol,' preserving the chemical root 'butyl' (four carbons) with the '-ol' suffix for alcohols.

Kelly Says

The four isomers of butanol are a perfect chemistry lesson—same chemical formula (C₄H₁₀O) but arranged differently, giving each completely different properties, proving that molecular arrangement is destiny.
