Consider the
nula of the carbon compounds (a) and (b)
given below :
(i)
(a) C3H30
(b) C3H602
Identify the functional groups in (a) and (b) and write their
structures.
Are (a) and (b) isomers ? Give reason.
What happens when alkaline KMnO4 is added, drop by drop, into a
test tube containing warm propanol ? Write the chemical equation
for the reaction and state the role of alkaline KMnO4 in this
reaction.

Answer:
What are isomers?
Isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula, but have a different arrangement of the atoms in space. That excludes any different arrangements which are simply due to the molecule rotating as a whole, or rotating about particular bonds.
For example, both of the following are the same molecule. They are not isomers. Both are butane.
There are also endless other possible ways that this molecule could twist itself. There is completely free rotation around all the carbon-carbon single bonds.
