Ether functional group can be represented as ____________________?
Correct answer: C. R-O-R
- A. OH
- B. R-CO-R
- C. R-O-R
- D. R-COOH
Explanation
An ether contains an oxygen atom single-bonded to two carbon-containing groups, represented generally as R-O-R. R-CO-R is a ketone, so students who focus on the oxygen-containing nature without identifying the bonding pattern may choose option b.
