Solution

For Molecular formula, $C_{3} H_{6} O$ , most common organic compounds are, Acetone (IUPAC : propanone, $C H_{3} C O C H_{3}$ ) and propanal ( $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H O$ ). Therefore these two compounds are the isomers for the molecular formula $C_{3} H_{6} O$ . and the electronic dot structures are shown in the figure. red circles represent the outermost shall electrons of carbon, cross for oxygen and green squares for hydrogen electrons.
