Chapter 17, Problem 17.71UTC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The condensed structural formula for glyceryl tripalmitate should be determined.

Concept introduction:

► Condensed structural formula:

The condensed structural formula omits the carbon and hydrogen bonds and uses lines between the bonded atoms, it is an easier way to draw the line-bonded structural formula.

► Line structural formula:

The line angle formula of an organic compound is simple representation of a molecule’s bonding. It is also called as skeletal formula.
