Question

The epoxide ring consists of which of the following?

• A. Three membered ring with two carbon and one oxygen
• B. Four membered ring with three carbon and one oxygen
• C. Five membered ring with four carbon and one oxygen
• D. Six membered ring with five carbon and one oxygen

Hint:

Epoxides are three-membered rings with two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Structure of epoxide.
An epoxide is a three-membered ring with two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. It is a cyclic ether with highly strained bonds.

Step 2: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(A) Three membered ring with two carbon and one oxygen}} \]
