Difference between an alcohol and an ether?

1 Answer

0 votes

Answer:

The fundamental difference between these compounds is the presence of OH groups in the alcohol that are missing in the ether. Because hydrogen bonds can't form between the molecules in the ether, the boiling point of this compound is more than 80°C lower than the corresponding alcohol.
