Question

Give reason why compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic behaviour although they contain hydrogen in them.

Answer 1

Hint- In order to deal with this question first we will define the terms alcohol and glucose further then according to its behavior and property we will find the required reason.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Ethanol is also known chemically as alcohol, ethyl alcohol, or drinking alcohol. It is a simple alcohol with a molecular formula of ${C_2}{H_6}O$ and a molecular weight of $46.0684g/mol$ . The molecular formula of ethanol may also be written as $C{H_3} - C{H_2} - OH$or as ${C_2}{H_5} - OH$ . The latter can also be thought of as an ethyl group linked to a hydroxyl (alcohol) group and can be abbreviated as $Et - OH$.
Glucose is a basic sugar that contains molecular formula ${C_6}{H_{12}}{O_6}$. Glucose, a subcategory of carbohydrates, is the most common monosaccharide. Glucose is mostly produced by plants and most algae through water and carbon dioxide photosynthesis, using energy from sunlight, where it is used to create cellulose which is the most abundant carbohydrate in the cell walls.
Compared to the details above, all molecules contain hydrogen ions, but molecules such as alcohol and glucose do not dissociate in water to form hydrogen ions and do not accept electrons either. Consequently, they are not known to display acidic behavior.

Note- Ethanol is a solvent that is toxic, flammable, colorless and has a faint odour. Besides its use as a psychoactive and recreational drug, ethanol is also widely used as an antiseptic and disinfectant, as well as a chemical and therapeutic solvent and as a gasoline. Glucose is the most essential source of sugar in all organisms within the fat metabolism. Glucose for digestion is partly processed as a lipid, primarily as starch and amylopectin in plants, and glycogen in animals. In animals' blood glucose circulates as blood sugar.
