Iso Propyl Alcohol
Isopropyl alcohol is a colorless, flammable chemical compound with a strong odor with the formula C-H8o. As an isopropyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, it is the simplest example of a secondary alcohol, where the alcohol carbon atom is attached to two other carbon atoms. It is a structural isomer of 1-propanol and ethyl methyl ether.
