Interpretation: The constitutional isomer of the given compound has to be drawn by using its molecular formula C3H8O.
Concept introduction: The arrangement of atoms that are bonded together determines its constitution and molecular formula of that particular compound.
This concept is referred as structural isomers or in more modern term constitutional isomers.
Each atom has a typical valency or valence which is defined as the ability of an atom to form a
Oxygen and hydrogen atoms are divalent and monovalent in nature.
To find: The constitutional isomer of the given compound
