It it was (CH3)2CHO, then the last carbon has only three bonds attached if u consider it to be an alcohol .:p Secondly, structural formula always matters. If u show me any compound from anywhere which is an alcohol and has a CHO in the end, I'll accept that I'm wrong then.
Sorry its (CH3)3CHO,i wrote that by mistake and i did correct it

See, as I said it before if there's a hydrogen between a C and an O, that's impossible for an alcohol. And it was important as then you had to mention the colour changes in the table :p

It was (CH3)3CHO, There is no way it can be an aldehyde, that way carbon's gonna make weird 5 bonds dude :D The only color change was for the compound B

exactly! and there are 7 points allocated on the 1st table and 3 on the 2nd table (one for identifying B, one for initial colour and the last point for the change in colour)!

dont get me wrong but your organic seems a bit weak,i used to make such silly mistakes too
Sometimes we do get fooled by such situations

Okay bro. It was an alcohol with a hydrogen having a bond with C, as well as oxygen. Maybe our chemistry books need a change now as we have new philosophers here.

We are here telling you what the fact was, certainly not accepting any sarcasm. Thank you, take care! :)

Were they seven or 6? And please, CIE examiners that not that lenient that they'll give u straight marks for just writing a letter and a color change.
