Solution

Alcohols can undergo the following reactions:

  1. Oxidation: Alcohols can be oxidized to produce aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids. The specific product often depends on the specific conditions of the reaction and the type of alcohol (primary, secondary, tertiary) that is being oxidized.

  2. Dehydration: Alcohols can undergo dehydration reactions where a molecule of water is removed, often leading to the formation of alkenes. This typically occurs under acidic conditions and with heat.

  3. Halogenation: While not as common as the other reactions, alcohols can undergo halogenation, specifically when reacted with phosphorus halides or thionyl chloride, to produce alkyl halides.

  4. Hydrogenation: This is not a typical reaction for alcohols. Hydrogenation generally refers to the addition of hydrogen (H2) to a molecule, which is a common reaction for alkenes and alkynes, not alcohols.

So, the correct answers are Oxidation, Dehydration, and Halogenation.
