ETHERS PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
1. Lower members are gases or volatile liquids,

2. They are colourless liquids with pleasant ethereal odour.
3. Ether vapours are highly inflammable. Ether fire is extinguished by CO2 or pyrene (CCl4) extinguisher and not by water as ether floats on water.
4. Dipole nature: The C – O bond in ether is polar in nature as oxygen is more electronegative than carbon atom. They have a dipole moment of 1.15 -1.30 D. The two C – O bonds are inclined at an angle of 110o, hence two dipoles do not cancel each other and makes ether somewhat polar.
5. Boiling points: Ethers are isomeric with alcohols, but their boiling points are much lower than those of the isomeric alcohols as ethers do not form intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
6. Solubility: Ethers containing upto three carbon atoms are soluble in water due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between water and ether molecules.
