Aldehyde - Propanal - CH

CHO
Ketone - Propanone - CH

These two carbon compounds are called functional isomers. They do not have same physical properties since their functional group is different.
When hydrogen is present on one side of C=O group and other side is R, (RCHO), then they are aldehyde group. When R is present on both sides of C=O group, then it is a ketone.
