How many alcohols and ethers share the molecular formula c2h6o?

Answer is: there are two compounds with molecular formula C₂H₆O, one alcohol and one ethar.

Alcohol with molecular formula C₂H₆O is ethanol or ethyl alcohol (C₂H₅OH).

Ethanol is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with characteristic odor.

Ether with molecular formula C₂H₆O is dimethyl ether (CH₃OCH₃).

Dimethyl ether is a colorless gas.

Alcohol :CH₃-CH₂-OH (ethanol)

Ether: H₃C-O-CH₃  (dimethyl ether)

Explanation:

Alcohols are compounds containing the hydroxyl or the -OH functional group i.e. R-OH where R is an alkyl or aryl group

Ethers are compounds with a general structure, R-O-R' where R and R' are once again either alkyl or aryl groups.

The given compound has a molecular formula: C₂H₆O

Structure with 'alcohol' -OH functional group

CH₃-CH₂-OH ethanol

Structure with ether functionality:

H₃C-O-CH₃     dimethyl ether

 It contradicted the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

Explanation:  According to Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, it is not possible to simultaneously determine the velocity and momentum of the microscopic particle.

But according to Bohr's theory, the position and the velocity of the electron can be easily determined , thus it contadicted the heisenberg principle.

Heisenberg gave his principle in refrence to the microscopic partilce and electron is one of them. Bohr specifically talked about the lectron in its model.
