Can C5H10O Be Drawn as an Ether?

[Specter]

Homework Statement

Sorry for so many questions!

Draw and name all of the structural isomers that are ketones with five carbon atoms in its longest chain and the molecular formula C₅H₁₀O . Can this molecular formula also have an aldehyde structure? If so, illustrate and name the aldehyde. Can this be drawn as an ether? Explain.

The Attempt at a Solution

I drew 3-pentanone and 2-pentanone for the ketones with the molecular formula C₅H₁₀O and I drew pentanal for the aldehyde with the molecular formula C₅H₁₀O. I can't figure out a way to draw an ether with that molecular formula. The one I drew has 12 hydrogens and 5 carbons. Can it even be drawn as an ether??

The one I drew has 12 hydrogens and 5 carbons.

Can you think of a way of removing two hydrogens?

Can you think of a way of removing two hydrogens?

Maybe a double bond somewhere?

The formula suggests lack of saturation, doesn't it?

What elements are required to make a ketone? An ether? Given your molecular formula, can you do both at the same time?
