Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
For the given line structure, all carbon atoms, hydrogen atoms, and lone pairs are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Line structures are compact, like condensed structures. When drawing line structures, carbon atoms and the hydrogen atoms attached to them are not drawn explicitly. A carbon atom is implied at the intersection of two bonds and at the end of each bond. Atoms except carbon and hydrogen are drawn. Non-bonding electrons are usually not shown unless they are important to emphasize an aspect of the atom.
