Draw structural formulas for all the alcohols that have the molecular formula C5H11OH. Name each one and classify them as primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohols. Describe how they are formed and give two uses for this type of alcohol.
1-pentanol
2-pentanol (1-methyl-1-butanol)
3-pentanol
2-methyl-1-butanol
2-methyl-2-butanol
3-methyl-1-butanol
3-methyl-2-butanol
2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol
how do i classify if they are primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohols?

so
1-pentanol PRIMARY
2-pentanol (1-methyl-1-butanol) SECONDARY
3-pentanol SECONDARY
2-methyl-1-butanol SECONDARY
2-methyl-2-butanolSECONDARY
3-methyl-1-butanol TERTIARY
3-methyl-2-butanolTERTIARY
2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol TERTIARY

IS THIS RIGHT?

ANOTHER QUESTION distinguish between an addition polymer and a condensation polymer, and give an example for each i dont get it

You have a lot of them wrong.
1-Pentanol PRIMARY
2-Pentanol SECONDARY
3-Pentanol SECONDARY
2-Methyl-1-butanol PRIMARY
2-Methyl-2-butanol TERTIARY
3-Methyl-1-butanol PRIMARY
3-Methyl-2-butanol SECONDARY
2,2-Dimethyl-1-propanol PRIMARY
An addition polymer is formed from reaction of a monomer such as ethylene, proplyene, styrene, or vinyl chloride to give a straight-chain polymer resin. For example, the formation of polyethylene from ethylene:
CH2=CH2 ===> -[-CH2-CH2-]x- where x is an indefinite number.
A condensation polymer is formed when two monomers react to form a straight-chain or crosslinked-chain polymer resin, with the splitting out of a small-molecule coproduct like water or methanol. For example, the formation of polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) from ethylene glycol and dimethyl terephthalate, used to make shirts and soda pop bottles:
HO-CH2CH2-OH + CH3OOC-C6H4-COOCH3 ===> HO-[-CH2CH2-OOC-C6H4-COO-]x- + 2CH3OH
Nylons of various kinds are also condensation polymers.

Anything 1-ol is primary.
Anything 2-ol is secondary unless there is another group on 2 as well.
So a 2-methyl 2-ol would be tertiary.

A primary alcohol has the -OH bound to a carbon that is bound to only one other carbon. For example, ethanol.
A secondary alcohol has the -OH bound to a carbon atom that is bound to two other carbon atoms, like 2-propanol.
A tertiary alcohol has the -OH bound to a carbon that is bound to three other carbon atoms.
