Because the order is:
Liquids(1Meth, 2Eth, 3Prop, 4Bute, 5Pent, 6Hex), 7Hept, 8Oct, 9Non, 10Dec.
This is the beginning of the name of the molecule. The end bit, is whether it is a Alcohol, Alkane, Alkene, Carboxylic acid or Ester.
Alcohols end with anol. So the order for alchols will be methanol, Ethanol, Propanol, Butanol, Pentanol, Hexanol...etc.
CH3OH , C2H5OH...etc
Hydrogens go up in two's as the Chloride Goes up by one.
These are Highly flammable because of the OH, without the OH it wouldnt be flammable.
