Answer:

Alcohol :CH₃-CH₂-OH (ethanol)

Ether: H₃C-O-CH₃  (dimethyl ether)

Explanation:

Alcohols are compounds containing the hydroxyl or the -OH functional group i.e. R-OH where R is an alkyl or aryl group

Ethers are compounds with a general structure, R-O-R' where R and R' are once again either alkyl or aryl groups.

The given compound has a molecular formula: C₂H₆O

Structure with 'alcohol' -OH functional group

CH₃-CH₂-OH ------- ethanol

Structure with ether functionality:

H₃C-O-CH₃     ---------dimethyl ether

Answer is: there are two compounds with molecular formula C₂H₆O, one alcohol and one ethar.

Alcohol with molecular formula C₂H₆O is ethanol or ethyl alcohol (C₂H₅OH).

Ethanol is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with characteristic odor.

Ether with molecular formula C₂H₆O is dimethyl ether (CH₃OCH₃).

Dimethyl ether is a colorless gas.

What is the difference between water and alcohol
Rudik [331]

Answer:

water is H2O having different structure than alcohol R-OH which means they have different properties too.

Explanation:

In water one oxygen atom  is covalently bound with  two hydrogen atoms while alcohol is an organic compound  having Oh group attached to the carbon chain.

Other than liquid water can occur in solid form that is ice and in gaseous form that is vapors too while alcohol only present in liquid form.

heat of evaporation of alcohol is lower than water means water need more heat to evaporate than alcohol that is why we can say alcohol having more cooling effect than water.

Which statement is NOT a property of unsaturated hydrocarbons?
Ray Of Light [21]
I would pick "<span>Unsaturated hydrocarbons are very reactive." This is because while unsaturated hydrocarbons are indeed more reactive than their saturated counterparts, they still do require some energy, called activation energy, to be overcome before the reactions occur.</span>

What are the pros of using steel?
lora16 [44]
There are many pros in using steel. Steel is tensile. It has a high strength to weight ratio which means it has high strength per unit mass. So no matter how large the overall structure is, the steel sections will be small and lightweight, unlike other building materials. Also, steel is very durable. Structural steel structures can withstand external pressures such as earthquakes, thunderstorms, and cyclones.
