An aldehyde and a ketone can be represented by the same molecular formula, say `C_3H_6O`. Write their structures and name them. State the relation between the two in the language of science.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The aldehyde and ketone with the same molecular formula `C_3H_6O` are propanaldehyde and propanone. 
`underset("Propanal")(H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C ) -underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C )-overset(H)overset(|)(C )-O) " " underset("Propane")(H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C )-underset(O)underset(|)(C )-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C )-H)`
They are called isomers.
