- ✓Peroxide
- BAcid
- CKetone
- D$TNT$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Peroxide
a
When ethers are stored in the presence of atmospheric oxygen, they slowly oxidize to produce hydroperoxides and dialkyl peroxides, both of which are explosives. Such oxidation by atmospheric oxygen is called an autoxidation.
