Ethers are linear molecules with zero dipole moment.(a) True(b) FalseI have been asked this question during an online interview.My question is based upon Ethers topic in division Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer» RIGHT OPTION is (b) False

To elaborate: Ethers have angular structures due to the polar nature of C-O bond because of the difference in electronegativity of C and O atoms. SINCE the two C-O bonds are inclined to each other at about 110°, the DIPOLE do not cancel out, and there is some dipole moment.
