It's an important portion which creates confuse among many students. Come to see the explanation with details.

Explanation:

When ROH dissociate as $RO^-$ and $H^+$ , it shows acidic character.In this case, when alcohol reacts with Metal ( ROH + NaH = ROM + H2),Esterification ( $RO^18H$ + CH3COOH = $CH3COO^18R$ + H2O) and Acid chloride (RCOCl + ROH = RCOOR +HCl).

On the other hand, when ROH reacts with all others compound like Cl2 ,PCl5,PCl3,SOCl2, NH3 shows $R^+$ and $OH^-$ .
