Question: What accounts for the similar physical properties of alcohol?
Alcohols are organic molecules composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Since they contain hydrogen atoms, they are highly miscible with water and generally volatile as well. They also have similar polar covalent bonds, which makes them nearly insoluble in non-polar solvents such as oils and fats, and this is what accounts for their similar physical properties.
