Are alcohols more reactive than ethers?
No, ethers are generally less reactive than alcohols. Alcohols have a hydroxyl group (-OH) that can participate in various chemical reactions such as oxidation, dehydration, and nucleophilic substitution. Ethers, on the other hand, lack such a reactive functional group and are generally more inert.
Which chemicals cause acne in cosmetics?
This is a good reference tool. You can print it out and take it with you to the drug store. The numbers have to do with how bad of a pore-clogging ingredient it is: 5 is the worst.

What are some volatile liquid?
Volatile liquids may be ethers, alcohols, ketones etc.
What is the difference between the solvent properties of ethers and alcohols?
Ethers are hydrogen bond acceptors, but not hydrogen bond donors, as are alcohols. Ethers are generally unreactive as solvents, for that reason. Because of the polarity of the O-H bond in alcohol, the hydrogen atom comes on and off readily, allowing alcohol to act as a solvent in many reactions.
Are cyclic ethers more nucleophilic than free alcohols?
Not necessarily, it depends upon structure and size of molecule, usually free alcohols are more nucleophilic.
Are fats acid ketones ethers esters or alcohols?
Fats are esters of fatty acids and glycerin (propane-1,2,3-triol).
What is organik chemistry?
Organic chemistry is the study and analysis of Chemistry involving chains composed of carbon. Such types of chains include: Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, Ketones, Ethers, Alcohols, Esthers, etc.. All of these chains contain the element Carbon but they are characterized differently due to the presence of different functional groups, for example: The functional group of a Ketone is a double bond to an Oxygen.
What is thio group?
Thio is used for sulphur, the groups containing sulphur in organic compounds are thio groups , as thio alcohols and thio ethers.
Does Ether have a higher boiling point than alcochol?
no..ethers are always low in boiling point than alcohol due to alcohols hydrogen bonds
What are some examples of an organic form?
Organic forms include both carbon and hydrogen. They include alcohols, esters, ethers, ketones, phenols, thiols, azo compounds, amines and amides.
Williamson synthesis organic chemistry?
Williamson synthesis, or Williamson ether synthesis, is a way to make ethers from alcohols and alkyl halides. For example, if you add CH3CH2Br to CH3CH2OH you make diethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3).
When was Breaking the Ethers created?
Breaking the Ethers was created on 1997-03-01.
