Question
### Identifying Solvents as Protic or Aprotic

In this activity, you are asked to classify various solvents as either protic or aprotic. Protic solvents are those that have a hydrogen atom bound to an oxygen (such as in alcohols and water) or a nitrogen (such as in amines). Aprotic solvents do not have a hydrogen atom bound in this way.

Here is the list of solvents given:

1. **N-ethylethanamine (diethylamine)**
2. **Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)**
3. **Methanol**
4. **Tetrahydrofuran (THF)**
5. **Ethoxyethane (diethyl ether)**

Each solvent should be identified as either protic or aprotic:

- **N-ethylethanamine (diethylamine)**: [Dropdown menu]
- **Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)**: [Dropdown menu]
- **Methanol**: [Dropdown menu]
- **Tetrahydrofuran (THF)**: [Dropdown menu]
- **Ethoxyethane (diethyl ether)**: [Dropdown menu]

#### Key:
1. **Protic**: Solvents that can form hydrogen bonds and typically contain -OH or -NH groups.
2. **Aprotic**: Solvents that do not have hydrogen atoms that can form hydrogen bonds.

Use the dropdown menus to select whether each solvent is protic or aprotic. Here are some general guidelines:

- **Protic Solvents** include anything with a \( -OH \) group (like alcohol) or \( -NH \) group (like amine).
- **Aprotic Solvents** lack these groups and cannot form hydrogen bonds with themselves. These include solvents like dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and tetrahydrofuran (THF).
