Interpretation : To compare the structure as well as the
Concept Introduction: The difference between the two compounds lies in the functional group and also the number of carbons, hydrogens, and oxygens present in the structure, which help to differentiate between the two structures. The main differentiation is given only by the functional group present.
Answer to Problem 75A
