The question requires us to draw the structural formula, provide the name and highlight any functional groups for the compound: diethyl ether.
The molecule diethyl ether can be represented as it follows, with two ethyl groups (-CH2CH3) bonded to a oxygen atom:
Note that the functional group ether (R-O-R) is present in the structre and highlighted in blue in the image. The official name of diethyl ether is ethoxyethane.
Explanation:
Ion-dipole interactions are defined as the interactions that occur when an ion interacts with the dipole of a molecule (polar molecule).
For example, ,
,
, NaCl etc are all the molecules that will show ion-dipole interactions.
Dipole-dipole interactions are defined as the interactions that occur when partial positive charge on an atom is attracted by partial negative charge on another atom.
When a polar molecules produces a dipole on a non-polar molecule through distribution of electrons then it is known as dipole-induced forces.
For example, ,
etc are the molecules which show dipole-dipole interactions.
