Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The class of compound $\text{R}-\text{O}-\text{R}$ is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The functional groups are atoms or the group of atoms that acts as substituents in the molecules and are responsible for their characteristic reactions. The functional group containing oxygen atoms are alcohol group, carboxylic acid group, aldehyde group, ketone group, phenols, ethers, and their derivatives.
