Not be soluble in water

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A substance in which bond forming between the combining atoms is due to the sharing of electrons is known as a covalent bond.

For example, bond present in a Cl_{2} molecule is a covalent bond.

Some covalent bonds are non-polar in nature whereas water is a polar solvent. As it is known that like dissolves like.  

Therefore, covalent molecules will not be soluble in water as water is a polar molecule.

Thus, we can conclude that if a substance is covalent, then it likely will not be soluble in water.

How do you name ethers in chemistry?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Common names of ethers simply give the names of the two alkyl groups bonded to oxygen and add the word ether. The current practice is to list the alkyl groups in alphabetical order (t-butyl methyl ether), but older names often list the alkyl groups in increasing order of size (methyl t-butyl ether).
