Acetone (2-propanone, propanone, or other names) has CH3COCH3 as its chemical formula. But it shares that formula with propionaldehyde (propanal). The two chemicals are structural isomers, and they have clearly different chemical properties. That's why we have a scheme for the structural formula of an organic compound. Since we can't "draw" here, use the link to a nice picture of the structural formula of acetone. The information is provided by our friends at Wikipedia, where knowledge is free.
