THF is made up of four carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. Most importantly, it is characterized as a heterocyclic ether. The name 'Cyclic' indicates a ring structure, the prefix 'Hetero-' indicates at least one atom is not carbon (oxygen in this case), and the 'ether' portion of the name indicates the functional group. The ether group is an organic functional group containing two carbon-based groups bonded to a central oxygen atom.
Chemical Name: Tetra Hydro Furan
CAS No: 109-99-9
Molecular Formula : C4H8O
Molecular Weight: 72.11
THF is composed of 4 carbon atoms, 8 hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. It is most importantly characterized as being a hetero cyclic ether. '-Cyclic' means it's a ring structure, the prefix 'hetero-' tells us that at least one of the atoms within the ring is something other than carbon (oxygen in this case), and the'ether' portion of the name tells us the functional group. An ether is an organic functional group in which a central oxygen atom is bonded to two carbon-based groups
