Expert Solution
Step 1

In condensed formula of a structure each carbon atom is represented individually with the next carbon atom being placed right next to it and then the third being placed after the second and so on with the side elements attached to carbon inside a bracket. Additionally if the same group is repeated one after the other then it can be written once in a bracket with the number of the group as a subscript. 

Here the condensed formula for the given structure is: (CH3)2CH(CH2)(CHO)
