Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The general formulas including the functional group and the condensed structural formulas with two examples are to be represented for the given organic compounds.
Concept Introduction:
A graphic representation of a chemical compound is considered a structural formula. It represents the arrangement of atoms.
In a compound, the bond between atoms is represented by the absence of a line which is known as a condensed structural formula.
A group of atoms accountable for the specific reactions in order to form a particular compound is known as
An organic compound is considered a hydrocarbon if it only consists of carbon and hydrogen atoms. The atoms in a hydrocarbon compound are linked by a single, double, or triple bond.
