This problem is asking for the structural formula of an aldehyde whose molecular formula is C₃H₆O and shown on the attached file:
Molecular formulas:
In chemistry, molecular formulas show the actual number of atoms in a chemical compound; thus, in this case, we need to draw three carbon atoms together, arranged with six hydrogen atoms in which one of them contributes to the carbonyl group as an aldehyde is required.
Structural formulas:
In addition to the molecular formulas, structural formulas show the number and types of bonds that are formed in an organic compound; thus, in C₃H₆O, we see three single bonds between the carbon atoms, three hydrogen atoms bonded to the third carbon, two to the second one, a double-bonded oxygen with the first carbon and the last hydrogen atom in order to complete the octets on each atom.
In such a way, we draw the required structure as shown on the attached file.
