Q. Which type of isomerism is shown by propanal and propanone?

Rajasthan PMTRajasthan PMT 2006

Solution:

When two compounds have similar molecular formula but differ in the functional group then the isomerism is called functional group Isomerism i.e.,
$CH_3CH_2CHO$ and $CH_3 \overset{\underset{||}{O}}{C}CH_3$
