Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Ethers have two hydrocarbon groups bonded to an oxygen. They could be symmetrical as well as unsymmetrical:
`underset("Methyl n-propyl ether")(CH_(3)-O-CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3))`
`underset("Isopropyl methyl ether")(CH_(3)-O-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)-CH_(3))`
`underset("Diethyl ehter or ethyl ether")(CH_(3)CH_(2)-O-CH_(2)CH_(3))`
With simple ehters teh prefix di is often omitted.
