The depletion of ozone layer is a cause of concern. Why?

Solution

Ozone layer protects the earth and the organisms from the harmful Ultraviolet rays of the Sun. The UV radiations cause health problems like skin cancer, eye problems in animals and also pose many problems to the plants. The depletion of the ozone layer causes more UV radiation to reach the Earth and thus it is a cause of concern. 

Question
CBSEENSC10014681

An aldehyde, as well as ketone, can be represented by the same molecular formula say C3H6O, Write their structures and name them. State the relation between the two in the language of science.

Solution

Since the molecular formula is same for both aldehyde and ketone. Hence they are isomers( same molecular formula but different structural formula or functional group).
Their chemical name is, 
aldehyde = propanal
ketone = propanone
