(i) Propanal (aldehyde),
`H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C )-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C )-overset(H)overset(|)(C )=O`
(ii) Propanone (Ketone),
`H--underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C )-underset(O)underset(||)(C)-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C )-H`
(iii) Isomers (same molecular formula but different structural formula/different functional group).
