Interpretation:
At least two structural formula must be drawn for the compounds with molecular formula C3H6O.
Concept introduction:
Molecular formula C3H6Orepresents the structures of alcohols and ethers as both contain 1 O atom.
Explanation of Solution
As the molecular formula is C3H6O, isomeric alcohols and ethers can be drawn with this formula. Two alcohols are possible with three carbons. One is primary alcohol (Propan-1-ol).
Similarly, with three carbons, only one ether is possible. It is methoxyethane.
Thus, two structural formulas are shown below.
