Compound X is 2-propanol. When compound X is heated with a strong acid, it dehydrates to compound Y (C3H6). When compound X is oxidized, compound Z is forms which cannot be oxidized further. Draw the condensed structural formula and give the IUPAC names for compounds X, Y, AND Z.

What's wrong the answer Devron gave you?
I'll try it again
CH3-CH=CH2 <=Y=propene
CH3-CO-CH3 <=Z=propanone
CH3-CH=CH2 <=Y=propene
CH3-CO-CH3 <=Z=propanone
X = propanol==> CH3-CHOH-CH3
