Question
Dimethyl ether, Me2O, is highly soluble in water while diethyl ether, Et2O, is only sparingly soluble because -
Options
A.Me2O reacts with water efficiently due to its small sized methyl groups but Et2O does not
B.hydrogen bonding between Et2O and H2O is less efficient due to steric crowding around oxygen of Et2O while the hydrogen bonding between Me2O and H2O is much efficient due to small size of the methyl groups
C.C2H5 − groups has a stronger +I effect than CH3 − group
D.hyperconjugation of C − H bond is greater in Me2O than in Et2O
