Answer:
Alcohol :CH₃-CH₂-OH (ethanol)
Ether: H₃C-O-CH₃ (dimethyl ether)
Step-by-step explanation:
Alcohols are compounds containing the hydroxyl or the -OH functional group i.e. R-OH where R is an alkyl or aryl group
Ethers are compounds with a general structure, R-O-R' where R and R' are once again either alkyl or aryl groups.
The given compound has a molecular formula: C₂H₆O
Structure with 'alcohol' -OH functional group
CH₃-CH₂-OH ------- ethanol
Structure with ether functionality:
H₃C-O-CH₃ ---------dimethyl ether
