Expert Answer
The molecules in which two hydroxyl groups are attached two same carbon atom are called gem diols. Example: methanediol.
Gem diols are unstable because they lose water molecules to give back the original compound.
The carbon atom having two hydroxyl groups are highly electropositive and get easily attacked even by weak nuclei.
