Chapter 1, Problem 44P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas of all the constitutional isomers having single bonds only and having one double bond are to be written for the molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}\text{O}$.

Concept introduction:

Constitutional isomers are the isomers that have the same molecular formula, but differ in the order in which the atoms are connected in their structural formula.

In each structural formula for the given molecule, carbon atom must be connected to other atoms by four bonds and oxygen atom must be connected to other atoms by two bonds.
