`overset("Propanal (aldehyde),")(H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-overset(H)overset(|)C=O)" "overset("Propanone (ketone),")(H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-underset(O)underset(||)C-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-H)`
These two compounds are called isomers i.e., compounds having same molecular formula but different structural formula.
