Question
What is the correct answer and why is it correct?

#### Structure Description
The diagram displays a molecular structure featuring an oxygen atom connecting two carbon-containing groups, a simple representation of an ether.
#### Multiple Choice Options:
- ○ Alcohol
- ○ Ether
- ○ Aldehyde
- ○ Ketone
- ● Ester
The selected option, highlighted in red, is "ester."
**Explanation:**
In reality, the structure depicts an ether due to the presence of an oxygen atom linking two alkyl or aryl groups without any carbonyl group, which is a characteristic of ethers, not esters.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/e59c93b1-dc19-4e35-8dd7-f19496d72abd/9782bdda-5012-43c9-9120-59433c145c3b/snijz0h_thumbnail.jpeg)

Step 1
The given compound is ether. Ethers can be thought of as organic derivatives of water (H-O-H) in which the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic fragments (R-O-R).
The general structure of ether is----
R-O-R
In an symmetrical ether, both the alkyl groups (R) are the same----
CH3-O-CH3
In an unsymmetrical ether, the two alkyl groups (R) are different----
CH3-O-C2H5
