Question

A molecule of acetone and a molecule of propyl aldehyde are both made from 3 carbon atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms, and 1 oxygen atom. The molecules differ in their arrangement of atoms. How do formulas for the two compounds compare? Both compounds have the same molecular formula, but have unique structural formulas. Both compounds have unique molecular formulas and structural formulas. Both compounds have the same structural formula, but have unique molecular formulas.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The structures of both acetone and propanal are shown below:

In the formula of propanal there is -CHO functional group at the end.

In acetone -CO- group is present in the middle that is on the second carbon.

The molecular formula is C3H6O.

Both have same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
