Question

propanal and propanone are known as isomers? give reason

Answer 1

Isomers are those compounds which have sane molecular formula but different structural formula. Propanal and propanone both have the same molecular formula i.e C3H6O

Answer 2

There are many types of chemical compound present in our planet, which are completely different from each other due to their characteristics.

Isomers are one of the most important type of chemical compounds.

Isomers are actually two or more compounds with the same molecular formula but they have different molecular structures.

Similarly, propanal and propanone both has a same molecular formula (C3H6O) but different molecular structures,that why they are isomers.
