Chemistry - STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM Question with Solution | TestHub

Reduction of propanoic acid gives propan-1-ol, $\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3-\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_2-\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_2-\mathrm{OH}$. A position isomer has the same carbon skeleton and the same functional group at a different position : propan-2-ol, $\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3-\mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{OH})-\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3$. Propanone and propanal contain different functional groups (ketone and aldehyde), and propan-1-ol is the reduced product itself.
