Propanone and propanal are
- A position isomers
- B functional isomers
- C chain isomers
- D geometrical isomers
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) functional isomers
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Propanone and propanal have the same molecular formula but different functional group i.e. ketone and aldehyde respective. Hence, these two are the functional isomers of each other.
