Chapter 6, Problem 37E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formula for the straight chain of hydrocarbon with the formula ${\text{C}}_3{\text{H}}_6$ is to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Hydrocarbons are the organic compounds which contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms.

The structural formula is a two-dimensional representation of a compound, which gives the information about the atoms that are bonded together and the atoms that are not.

Alkenes are the unsaturated hydrocarbons which contain at least one double bond between the carbon atoms.

The general molecular formula for the alkene is ${\text{C}}_n{\text{H}}_{2n}$.
