Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The number of hydrogen atoms present around each carbon atom in the given molecule is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Organic molecules often contain many atoms. To represent them in a simple way, condensed structures and skeletal structures are taken in consideration. In skeletal structures, a carbon atom is present at the junction of any two lines and at the end of a line. Enough hydrogen atoms should be bonded to carbon in order to make it tetravalent.
