Concept explainers
a.
To convert:
The given condensed structure to a skeletal structure.
Introduction:
A skeletal structure is used to show the arrangement of atoms bonded together in a molecule that forms the basic structure of the compound.
The skeletal structure is shown in two dimensions where carbon atoms are shown by vertices of line segments. Solid lines are used to show bonds between molecules. Double bonds are shown by two lines and triple bonds are shown by triple lines between the atoms in a structure.
In the condensed structure, the arrangement of atoms is shown in a single line.
The position of branching is not shown in the condensed structure.
