Question
### Identifying Solvent Types

**Objective:**
Identify each solvent as either protic or aprotic.

#### Solvents:

1. **N-ethylethanamine (diethylamine)**
   - _Select option:_

2. **Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)**
   - _Select option:_

3. **Methanol**
   - _Select option:_

4. **Tetrahydrofuran (THF)**
   - _Select option:_

5. **Ethoxyethane (diethyl ether)**
   - _Select option:_

#### Options:

1. **Protic**
2. **Aprotic**

**Instructions:**
For each solvent listed, choose whether it is protic or aprotic from the drop-down menu provided.

**Definitions:**
- **Protic Solvent:** A solvent that has a hydrogen atom bound to an oxygen (as in hydroxyl group) or a nitrogen (as in an amine group). This hydrogen is easily released as a proton (H+).
- **Aprotic Solvent:** A solvent that does not release hydrogen as a proton. These solvents do not have an O-H or N-H bond.

#### Example:
- Methanol, with a hydroxyl group, is a protic solvent because it can donate a hydrogen atom as a proton through the O-H bond.

Make sure to make your selections accurately based on the definitions provided.
