Answer to Question #313934 in Organic Chemistry for Yusuf

Question

 Draw the possible constitutional isomers of C3H6O. Circle and name the functional groups which are present. 

Answer 1

For Molecular formula, $C_3H_6O$ most common organic compounds are, Acetone (IUPAC : propanone, $CH_3COCH_3$ )And propanal($CH_3CH_2CHO$ ) Therefore these two compounds are the isomers for the molecular formula $C_3H_60.$ and the electronic dot structures are shown in the figure. red circles represent the outermost shall electrons of carbon, cross for oxygen and green squares for hydrogen electrons.
