Ether molecules of net dipole moment is due to the polarity of C−O bonds.
However, Ethers are more polar than alkenes but not as polar as alcohols, esters or amides.
The boiling point of ethers is comparable to the alkanes but much lower than the alcohols of similar molecular mass.
Ethers are miscible in water i.e., the oxygen atom of ether can form hydrogen bonds with a water molecule.
The miscibility of ethers with water is similar to those of alcohols
Ethers are similar to alcohols in structure, and both ethers and alcohols are similar in structure to water.

Ethers are pleasant-smelling colourless liquids at room temperature. Here are some examples of ether.
