Concept explainers
To determine:
The condensed structure for the given skeletal structures.
Introduction:
Skeletal structure shows the bonds between the carbon atoms in the form of lines in two dimensions. The bond between the two carbons is indicated by a line. The number of
In condensed structure formula, organic structures are written from left to right in one line and this structural formula is simple as it does not show any bonds or lone pairs of atoms and shows no connectivity of atoms in a molecule. It shows the shorter way to draw a molecule and is more simplified than Lewis structure. It shows all atoms except the vertical bonds and some horizontal bonds.
