5-step guide. Step 1: 'STRUCTURE & NAMING: Functional group: -OH (hydroxyl). Naming: longest chain + position number + -ol suffix. Example: butan-2-ol (4C chain, OH on C2). Hydrogen bonding: O-H can H-bond → higher bp than similar-mass alkanes. Miscible with water (small alcohols).' Step 2: 'COMBUST
