Solution
Propanone also known as acetone is the smallest and the simplest compound containing ketone group which is a flammable, colorless and volatile liquid.
It is also known as dimethyl ketone by which we can guess the structural formula of the same to contain a ketone group attached to two methyl groups. It can be drawn as follows:
The functional group in the Propanone is identified as ketone and it is circled as shown in the below figure.
