उत्तर
| Ethanal | Propanal |
| Ethanal gives a yellow precipitate on heating with iodine in the presence of sodium hydroxide (positive Iodoform test). | Propanal will not give any reaction on heating with iodine in the presence of sodium hydroxide (negative Iodoform test). |
Ethanal gives the iodoform test, but propanal does not.
