ETHER

AND
ALDEHYDE
What are ether and aldehyde ?

By : Muhammad Atsiil Dhaifullah

Do you know what ether is
?Ether is a compound derived from alkanes with an alkoxy
group which is a shorter alkyl than alkanes. The IUPAC
Ether name is Alkoxy Alkane while the Trivial Ether
Name is Alkyl Ether.
Ether comes from Arabic (Attar)
which means piercing smell

General Formula
The general formula of Ether is CnH(2n+2)O
General structur formula of Ether is R-O-R'
And the functional group of ether is O-R'
Example

Do you know what aldehyde is ?
Aldehydes are one of the groups of carbon compounds
that have a carbonyl group. The group is located at the
end of the parent carbon chain which ends with a
hydrogen atom. The remaining groups can be other
hydrogen atoms or aliphatic or aromatic organic groups.

General Formula
The general formula of aldehyde is CnH2nO
General structur formula of aldehyde is R-COH
And the functional group of aldehyde is COH

At room temperature, Aldehydes have lower
liquid, and the longer the
methanal is a gas and has boiling and melting
carbon chain, the more
an unpleasant odor points than alcohols
fragrant it smells
