The compound that will have a sweet smell would be the one, whereby the molecular formula closely resembles that of an ether

R-O-R.

I believe the third one

Compounds are substances made up of similar molecules with atoms of various elements. The atoms of two or more elements form bonds and combine to yield a compound.

[tex]\rm CH_{3} - CH_{2} -O - CH_{3}[/tex]  will have a sweet smell.

What are the functional groups?

  • Functional groups are specific atoms or molecules bonded with the compound that gives a characteristic property to a compound. Some examples are alcohols, amines, ethers, carboxylic acids etc.

  • Ether [tex]\rm (R-O-R^{'})[/tex]  is one of the functional groups with a sweet and pleasant smell that is a volatile and flammable compound and is used in solvent and other industrial processes.

  • The compound [tex]\rm CH_{3} - CH_{2} -O - CH_{3}[/tex] is ether as it has the general formula of ether where the oxygen is linked with two different groups on its two sides.

Therefore, option C. [tex]\rm CH_{3} - CH_{2} -O - CH_{3}[/tex]  is the sweet-smelling compound.
