Ethers

A class of organic compounds characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups.

Oxygen Atom

The smallest unit of the element oxygen, consisting of 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons, essential for combustion and respiration.

Carbon Atoms

The basic building blocks of organic molecules, characterized by having four valence electrons, allowing them to form various structured networks and compounds.
