Alcohols are amphiprotic meaning they can act as both acids and bases. This video breaks down the acidity and basicity of alcohols including a review of trends for acid/base strength including charge, electronegativity, resonance and inductive effect. Practice examples every step of the way.

In this video:
[0:16] Behavior of an alcohol
[3:08] Sample SN1 question
[4:40] Two methods to form an alkoxide
[6:36] Most Know Alkoxides
[9:39] Explanation of electronegativity
[11:39] Sample molecule with resonance
[13:38] Explanation of induction and stability
