Chemistry

ScanSolve AI Answer

Answer

H2C=CH−C(=O)H\text{H}_2\text{C}=\text{CH}-\text{C}(=\text{O})\text{H}

The chemical structure of the compound, which is prop-2-enal (acrolein), is:

CH2=CH−CHO\text{CH}_2=\text{CH}-\text{CHO}

This can also be represented as:

H2C=CH−C(=O)H\text{H}_2\text{C}=\text{CH}-\text{C}(=\text{O})\text{H}
