Question

Name The Functional Group That Present In Ether

Answer 1

Ethers are a class of organic compounds that contain an ether group—an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups. They have the general formula R–O–R′, where R and R′ represent the alkyl or aryl groups.

A typical example of the first group is the solvent and anesthetic diethyl ether, commonly referred to simply as "ether" (CH₃–CH₂–O–CH₂–CH₃).

• In general, ethers can be represented as R−O−R′
