Structural Formula for ethyl methyl ether

Postby Daniel Juarez 3C » Sat Mar 12, 2016 2:15 am

For Ethyl Methyl Ether's structural formula, the answer is

CH3CH2OCH3

Does the position of the oxygen within the structural formula matter?
Is the following also correct?

CH3OCH2CH3

Both would be the same, as they are just mirror images of each other, and essentially the same compound.
