Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecular formula given has only one oxygen atom, which means that the compound cannot be an alcohol because alcohols always have at least one oxygen atom in their molecular formula. Therefore, the only option that is not an alcohol is E) cyclohexanol, which is a cyclic compound and doesn't have any oxygen atoms in its molecular formula. The other four options are alcohols and cannot have the given molecular formula.
