kcousins : Just a comment--Ethers contain a single bond O between two carbons. Ethers do NOT contain an internal O-O bond. The functional group that matches this definition is a "peroxide" (C-O-O-C)
geekgirljess : Yes, what he said. Ethers have a single internal O atom bonded with two carbons (C-O-C or sometimes represented as R-O-R' ;) . Peroxides have the internal -O-O- bond.
ash_bash2716 : good list
JonRon : hi
annaekas : thanks!
