Question

Draw the condensed structural formula for each of the following :

(a)$Propionaldehyde$

(b)$2,3dichlorobu\tan al$
(c)$2methyl3hexenone$
(d)$Acetone$

Short answer

(a) The structural formula of$Propionaldehyde$is$C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}CHO$

(b) The structural formula of $2,3dichlorobu\tan al$is localid="1652803799050" $C{H}_3-CH\left(Cl\right)-CH\left(Cl\right)-CHO$

(c) The structural formula of $2methyl3hexanone$is $C{H}_3-C{H}_2-C{H}_2-CO-CH{\left(C{H}_3\right)}_2$

(d) The structural formula pf $acetone$is $C{H}_3-CO-C{H}_3$
