What is worse, the smell of chloroform or ether?
Personally, I can’t stand the smell of diethyl ether…but chloroform isn’t too bad.

Which of these molecules cannot form hydrogen bonds?Ethanol,Diethyl ether,water,ammonia or ethylene glycol?
I have been struggling with this question on an assignment for school: Which one of these following molecules cannot form hydrogen bonds? Ethanol, diethyl ether, water, ammonia or ethylene glycol?
Can you help?!
Thank you 😀

All of them except diethyl either – the H atoms in this molecule are bonded to C atoms and not to O atoms
Mandy asks…
One method of synthesizing ethers is by removing a water molecule from two primary alcohols. Use structural?
formulas to propose an equation for the synthesis of diethyl ether.
weight loss cardiff answers:
Ethanol ( ethyl alcohol ) is CH2CH2OH
Place two of these molecules so that 1 molecule of water can be removed
CH3CH2O[H HO]CH2CH3 Note that I have put [ ] around the molecule of water. Remove this and write down what is left:
CH3CH2OCH2CH3 diethyl ether
