Answer:

Hey mate,

Here is your answer. Hope it helps you

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary alcohols are those alcohols where the carbon atom of the hydroxyl group(OH) is attached to only one single alkyl group. Some of the examples of these primary alcohols include Methanol (, propanol, ethanol, etc. The complexity of this alkyl chain is unrelated to the classification of any alcohol considered as primary. The existence of only one linkage among –OH group and an alkyl group and the thing that qualifies any alcohol as a primary.
