The molecular formula C₃H₈O can represent several constitutional isomers. Here are the possible constitutional isomers for C₃H₈O:
1. **Propan-1-ol (1-Propanol)**: A straight-chain alcohol with the hydroxyl (-OH) group at the end of the carbon chain.
Structure: CH₃-CH₂-CH₂OH
2. **Propan-2-ol (2-Propanol)**: A branched alcohol (commonly known as isopropanol) with the hydroxyl group on the middle carbon of the straight-chain.
Structure: CH₃-CHOH-CH₃
3. **Ethyl methyl ether (Ethoxy methane)**: An ether with an ethyl (C₂H₅) group and a methyl (CH₃) group bonded to the oxygen.
Structure: CH₃-O-CH₂-CH₃
These three isomers represent all the structural variations of C₃H₈O under standard conditions. Each of these isomers has different properties and reactivities due to their structural differences.
