Question

Do Ethers have Dipole Dipole Forces?

Answer 1

Dipole Dipole forces in Ethers:

• Ethers are organic compounds containing an oxygen atom connected with two alkyl or aryl groups. The formula is R-O-R1.
• The C – O bonds present in ethers are polar in nature.
• The force of attraction between the positive end of one polar molecule and negative of another polar molecule, these forces are known as dipole-dipole forces. Yes, Ethers have dipole forces due to their polar nature.

Thus, Ethers show Dipole-Dipole interaction.
