Concept explainers
Interpretation:
From the given ball and stick model, the molecular formula is to be determined and the structural formula and the line structure are to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Organic molecules are generally represented by its molecular formula, ball and stick model, structural formula, condensed structural formula, and line structures.
A molecular formula represents the number of atoms of each element present in a molecule of the compound. The structural formula represents the order in which all the atoms are arranged. In the structural formula, each and every bond between atoms are shown using a line. In a condensed structural formula, the bonds are not shown.
Line structures are based on structural formulas in which the symbols for carbon and hydrogen atoms are not shown and the bonds between atoms are represented by a line. The intersection and the ends of the lines represent carbon atoms. The bond between carbon and hydrogen atoms is not shown.
In a ball and stick model, the balls are used to represent atoms and sticks are used to represent bonds.
