Answer 1

The question requires us to draw the structural formula, provide the name and highlight any functional groups for the compound: diethyl ether.

The molecule diethyl ether can be represented as it follows, with two ethyl groups (-CH2CH3) bonded to a oxygen atom:

Note that the functional group ether (R-O-R) is present in the structre and highlighted in blue in the image. The official name of diethyl ether is ethoxyethane.
