What are the first four members of the homologous series of alcohols?

The first four members of the homologous series of alcohols are methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol.

This question tests the recall of specific information regarding the alcohols, which is a fundamental aspect of the organic chemistry curriculum. It assesses the student's ability to remember and list the first four alcohols accurately. This response is aligned to Alcohols because it explains recall the first four members of a homologous series of alcohols as methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol using the correct AQA GCSE Chemistry organic context. Keep molecular formula, structural formula, displayed formula, and general formula distinct. Do not confuse alkanes with alkenes, saturated with unsaturated, cracking with combustion, polymers with monomers, or hydrocarbons with oxygen-containing alcohols and carboxylic acids. When formulae are used, preserve the stored notation exactly and explain the GCSE chemistry idea in words rather than using unsupported displayed-formula diagrams.
