**Organic Compound Naming: Ether Structure**

This image depicts the structural formula of an ether compound. The diagram consists of a chain of carbon atoms with an oxygen atom between two alkyl groups. The ether linkage is characterized by an oxygen atom (O) connected to two carbon atoms (R-O-R').

### Description:
- **Carbon Atoms**: Represented by vertices or line endings.
- **Oxygen Atom**: Represented by the letter 'O' in the center.
- **Alkyl Groups**: The sections of the chain flanking the oxygen atom, in this case likely ethyl groups.

### Explanation:
Ethers are named by identifying the two alkyl or aryl groups attached to the oxygen atom and appending the word "ether." For example, the structure shown could represent diethyl ether if the alkyl groups are ethyl groups.

This diagram demonstrates a simple representation of ethers, contributing to the understanding of organic chemistry nomenclature and structural identification.
