Question

Draw the possible isomers of the compound with molecular
formula $C_3{H}_{6}O$ and also give their electron dot structures.

Answer 1

For Molecular formula, $C_3{H}_{6}O$, most common organic compounds are, Acetone (IUPAC : propanone, $C{H}_{3}COC{H}_3$) and propanal ($C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}CHO$). Therefore these two compounds are the isomers for the molecular formula $C_3{H}_{6}O$. 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.
