During an Organic Chemistry class, students are introduced to the catalytic isomerization process of alkenes to form nitriles. Considering the isomerization reaction of propene (C3H6) in the presence of ammonia (NH3) and a suitable catalyst, identify the name of the organic compound formed and justify the choice between nitrile and isonitrile. Additionally, discuss the practical and industrial importance of nitriles in the synthesis of polymers and in the production of chemical compounds with biological functions.

The organic compound formed in the catalytic isomerization of propene is propanonitrile, and the choice between nitrile and isonitrile is justified by the fact that isonitrile is less common and the functional group -C≡N in the compound is directly linked to the carbon chain, indicating that it is a nitrile.

The organic compound formed is propanamide, and the differentiation between nitrile and isonitrile is given by the type of bond that the functional group -C≡N establishes with the carbon chain.

The compound formed is methanonitrile, and the choice between nitrile and isonitrile is based on the presence of the functional group -C≡N directly linked to the carbon chain.

The reaction product is butanedinitrile, and the differentiation between nitrile and isonitrile is made by the position of the functional group -C≡N in the carbon chain.

The substance obtained is ethanenitrile, and the justification for the choice between nitrile and isonitrile is the presence of the functional group -C≡N as part of the carbon chain.
