Even though NaOH & KOH contains –OH group. It is not included in the group of organic substances. Why?

Even though NaOH & KOH contains –OH group. It is not included in the group of

organic substances. Why?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

NaOH and KOH are strong bases which are ionic compound that contain OH ions.

Alcohols are covalent compounds, even though they have on or more hydroxyl ( -OH )

functional group, they do not behave like bases. The – OH group attached to a carbon

atom is a covalent bond.
