(a)
Interpretation:
The given compound has to be classified as an ether, an alcohol, or neither an ether or alcohol.
Concept Introduction:
Ether is an organic compound. In ether, an oxygen atom is bonded to two carbon atoms by a single bond. The groups that are attached to the carbon atom by a single bond may be alkyl, aryl, or cycloalkyl groups. The
Alcohol is a compound in which a hydrocarbon group is bonded to a hydroxyl group. The generalized formula for alcohol can be given as,

- Classify each molecule as an aldehyde, ketone, or neither. AND Classify each molecule as an ester, ether, or neither.arrow_forwardWhich is NOT a physical property of alcohols or phenols? O Phenols are generally only slightly soluble in water. O The hydroxyl group of an alcohol is nonpolar. The solubilities of normal primary alcohols in water decrease with increasing molecular weight. Boiling points of normal primary alcohols increase with increasing molecular weight.arrow_forwardWhat is the generic structure of alcohols? Write the structures of two specific alcohols.arrow_forward
- Explain why these compounds (1-propanol, ethylene glycol, and ethanethiol) experience different intermolecular forces based on their molecular structure.arrow_forwardClassify each of these molecules as alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, amine, or ether:arrow_forwardOf the alcohols with the molecular formula C4H9OH, which has the highest boiling point?arrow_forward
