(a)
Interpretation:
Lewis structure of dimethyl ether has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Electron-dot (Lewis) symbol: The numbers of valence electron are shown using dot symbol around the atomic symbol.
The valance electrons are represented as a dot; the dots are distributed around the four sides of the
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of diethyl ether has to be drawn and number carbon is calculated in diethyl ether.
(c)
Interpretation:
Interpretation:
A common structural feature of ether has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Ethers:
An oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups is called as ether. The general formula of ether is R–O–R′, where R and R′ group either alkyl or aryl groups.
Ethyl alcohol is reaction with acid which yields diethyl ether which is shown below.
