What is the chemical molecular formula of propylene oxide?
Thread Content
I would like to ask: what is the chemical molecular formula of propylene oxide? I only know it’s C3H6O, but where are the C atoms, the H atoms, and the O atoms? Are there single bonds or double bonds? How is it combined? It would be great to have the specific molecular formula, thank you!

Molecular formula: C3H6O; Molecular weight: 58.08; CAS number: 75-56-9. Properties: A colorless, flammable liquid with an ether-like odor and a low boiling point. Industrial products are racemic mixtures of the two optical isomers. Freezing point: -112.13°C, melting point: -112.13°C, boiling point: 34.24°C, relative density: 0.859 (0/4°C), refractive index: 1.3664, flash point: < -37°C, viscosity (25°C): 0.28 mPa·s. It is miscible with ethanol and diethyl ether, partially miscible with water, and forms binary azeotropes with dichloromethane, pentane, pentene, cyclopentane, cyclopentene, etc. What you have written is the molecular formula. Due to the presence of an oxygen bridge bond, it’s difficult to represent this bond in a single line; however, you should know what the structure of ethylene oxide is. In that case, simply add a methyl group to one of the ring carbons, or write it as CH3(CH2)2O.
