ʻO ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o isopropyl a meisopropanolaia i loko o ko lākou ʻano mole a me nā waiwai. ʻOiai ʻo ia mau mea ʻelua ka carbon a me ka hydrogen atoms, ʻokoʻa ko lākou ʻano kemika, e alakaʻi ana i nā ʻokoʻa koʻikoʻi i ko lākou mau waiwai kino a me kemika.

ʻO ka waiʻona Isopropyl, i ʻike ʻia ʻo isopropanol, no ka ʻohana o nā ʻona a loaʻa iā ia ke ʻano kemika CH3-CH(OH)-CH3. He wai hoʻoheheʻe, ʻā, ʻaʻole waihoʻoluʻu me kahi ʻala ʻano. ʻO kona polarity a me ka miscibility me ka wai e lilo ia i mea kemika ʻoihana koʻikoʻi, e ʻimi ana i kāna noi ʻana ma nā ʻano like ʻole e like me nā solvents, antifreezes, a me nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe. Hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Isopropanol ma ke ʻano he mea maka no ka hana ʻana i nā kemika ʻē aʻe.

Ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, hōʻike ka isopropyl i kahi radical hydrocarbon (C3H7-), ʻo ia ka alkyl derivative o propyl (C3H8). He isomer ia o ka butane (C4H10) a ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo ka butyl tertiary. ʻO ka waiʻona Isopropyl, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, he waiʻona derivative o isopropyl. ʻOiai he hui hydroxyl (-OH) ka isopropyl waiʻona i hoʻopili ʻia me ia, ʻaʻohe hui hydroxyl ka isopropyl. ʻO kēia ʻokoʻa ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā mea ʻelua e alakaʻi i nā ʻokoʻa koʻikoʻi i ko lākou mau waiwai kino a me nā kemika.

Hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia ka waiʻona Isopropyl me ka wai ma muli o kona ʻano polar, akā ʻo ka isopropyl he nonpolar a hiki ʻole ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka wai. ʻO ka pūʻulu hydroxyl i loko o ka isopropanol ka mea i ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī a me ka polar ma mua o ka isopropyl. Hoʻopili kēia ʻokoʻa polarity i ko lākou solubility a me ka miscibility me nā pūhui ʻē aʻe.

I ka hopena, ʻoiai ʻo ka isopropyl a me ka isopropanol ka helu like o ke kalapona a me ka hydrogen atoms, ʻokoʻa ko lākou ʻano kemika. ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi pūʻulu hydroxyl i isopropanol e hāʻawi iā ia i kahi ʻano polar, e hoʻoheheʻe ʻia me ka wai. ʻO Isopropyl, me ka ʻole o ka hui hydroxyl, nele i kēia waiwai. No laila, ʻoiai e ʻike ana ka isopropanol i nā noi ʻenehana he nui, ua kaupalena ʻia ka hoʻohana ʻana o isopropyl.
