An aldehyde as well as a ketone can be represented by the same molecular formula, say C_(3)H_(6)O. Write their structures and name them. State the relation between the two in the language of science.

Answer»

Solution :`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.
