Alcohols are soluble in water whereas ethers are insoluble why

Answers

Answered by malar01

Answer:

Because alcohols have an alkyl chain.

Ethers are nonpolar and can only form London forces, a very weak type of intermolecular force. So ethers cannot dissolve in water because the two types on bonding do not do well together. Alcohol also form hydrogen bonds.
