An Ether is an Organic Compound that contains a type of bond in which two Alcohols condense, meaning Water (H₂O) is removed. The resulting linkage is C-O-C, or two Organic radicals joined by an Oxygen Atom. Ether is commonly used as a sleeping drug (anaesthetic) in surgery and as a solvent for oil in the laboratory.
