    Ethers are organic compounds with two hydrocarbon groups bonded to an oxygen atom. They have lower boiling points than alcohols of similar molecular mass because the alkyl groups cannot form hydrogen bonds. Ethers are widely used as solvents in household, medical, and industrial applications due to their inertness and inability to react with oxidizing agents, reducing agents, or bases.
