Question

Which carbon skeleton represents an ether? (gradpoint)

Answer 1

The present carbon skeleton in an ether is  C-C-C-O-C-C-C because ethers conatins C-O-C as functional group

Answer 2

Answer : The carbon skeleton represents an ether is $C-C-C-O-C-C-C$

Explanation :

Ketone : It is a functional group in which the the $-CO$ group is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon.

The general formula of ketone is, $R-CO-R'$

Ether : It is a functional group in which the the $-O$ group is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon.

The general formula of ether is, $R-O-R'$

Aldehyde : It is a functional group in which the the $-CO$ group is directly attached to the terminal alkyl group of carbon.

The general formula of aldehyde is, $R-CO$

In the given image,

Image 1 carbon skeleton represents a ketone.

Image 2 carbon skeleton represents an ether.

Image 3 carbon skeleton represents an aldehyde.

Hnece, the carbon skeleton represents an ether is $C-C-C-O-C-C-C$
