Ethers containing up to 3 carbon atoms are soluble in water, due to their hydrogen bond formation with water molecules.The solubility decreases with increase in the number of carbon atoms. The relative increase in the hydrocarbon portion of the molecule decreases the tendency of H-bond formation. Ethers are appreciably soluble in organic solvents like alcohol, benzene, acetone etc.
