Concept explainers
Interpretation :
At least two structural formulas must be drawn for the molecular formula C3H6O.
Concept Introduction :
Structural formula of a molecule is the representation of the molecule in which the arrangements of all the atoms are shown.
The molecular formula C3H6O represents isomeric ether and alcohols.

Answer to Problem SI4RE
Two structural formulas are shown below for molecular formula C3H6O.
Explanation of Solution
Two alcohols are possible with three carbon atoms, one is primary and another is secondary. Out of these one primary alcohol (Propan-1-ol) is drawn. Only one ether is possible with three carbons. The structure of the ether (Methoxyethane) is shown.
Two structural formulas for the molecular formula C3H6O are shown below:
