(B) For the molecular formula $C_4H_8O$,we look for carbonyl isomers (aldehydes and ketones).$1$. Aldehydes (containing $-CHO$ group):- Butanal: $CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CHO$- $2-$Methylpropanal: $(CH_3)_2CH-CHO$Total aldehydes = $2$.$2$. Ketones (containing $C=O$ group):- Butanone: $CH_3-CO-CH_2-CH_3$Total ketones = $1$.Total isomers = $2 	ext{ (aldehydes)} + 1 	ext{ (ketone)} = 3$.

How many total isomers (aldehydes and ketones) are possible for the molecular formula $C_4H_8O$?
