Interpretation:
The given set of compounds has to be identified as a hydrocarbon. an alcohol, an ether, or a
Concept Introduction:
In an organic compound, the reactive portion is known as functional group. This undergoes reactions with other reagents and this does not depend upon how the rest of the compound is like. Few of the common functional groups are alcohol, ester, carboxylic acid,
