Question
Which of the following alcohol does not give a stable compound on dehydration?
✓
Answer
Alcohols undergo dehydration $($removal of water$)$ to form an alkene.
To form alkene, we need at least two carbon atoms. But, methanol $\ce{(CH_3OH)}$ has only one carbon atom. So, it does not give a stable compound on dehydration.
