Ethers have a tetrahedral geometry i.e. oxygen is sp

hybridized. The C−O−C bond angle is 110
o
. Because of the greater electronegativity of O than C, the C−O bonds are slightly polar & are inclined to each other at an angle of 110
o
, resulting in a net dipole moment. This bond angle greater than that of tetrahedral bond angle of 109

. This is due to the fact that internal repulsion by the hydrocarbon part is greater than the external repulsion of the lone pair of oxygen.
Answer:
When ionic solutes are dissolved in water, the molecules of water pull the ions of the crystal apart and the electrostatic forces are cut off. Further the ions are surrounded by the water molecules which act as a barrier around the ions and prevent the recombination of ions.
Explanation:
Sorry, this isn't my answer. I got it from google, but I hope it helps!

Plants can adapt to their environment for example algae is soft and can survive being moved or broken this is perfect for living on top of water were animals often swim and shake the surface.
