An organic compound, $ {{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}O $ does not give a precipitate with $2, 4$-dinitrophenyl hydrazine reagent and does not react with metallic sodium. It could be
Since, the compound does not give a precipitate with $2, 4$-dinitrophenylhydrazine, it cannot be an aldehyde or a ketone. Further since it does not react with metallic sodium, therefore, it cannot be an alcohol. Thus, the compound $ {{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}O $ must be an ether ie, option is correct.
Alcohol is formed when a saturated carbon atom bonds to a hydroxyl (-OH) group. It is an organic compound that contains a hydroxyl functional group attached to a carbon atom.
Phenol is formed when the -OH group replaces the hydrogen atom in benzene. It is an organic compound in which a hydroxyl group directly attaches to an aromatic hydrocarbon.
Ether is formed when oxygen atom bonds to two alkyl or aryl groups. It is an organic compound that has an oxygen atom that is connected to two aryl and alkyl groups.
