Chapter 1, Problem 42P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The hashed and wedged formulas should be converted to condensed form.

  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 1, Problem 42P , additional homework tip  1

Concept introduction:There are three ways of representation of molecular structures. The hashed and wedged formulas have three types of bonds. The bond above the plane is represented by bold hash while bonds behind the plane are represented by wedge.The bonds in plane are represented by normal bonds.

Bond-line formula depicts the zig-zag framework of carbon chain with attached substituents. The terminal position represents a methyl while the non-terminal is for methylene group. For instance, the propane is written in this notation as follows:

What is the dash formula of CH3CH2CH(NH2)CH3.  Expand the following condensed formula so as to show all the bonds and unshares electrons.
Select the statement that is correct about these two molecules (molecule on the left vs. molecúle on the right). Note: if your images appear stacked on top of each other, please expand your browser window. If it still appears stacked then the top molecule is the "left" one and the bottom molecule is the "right" one. но но The molecule on the left has fewer carbon atoms than the molecule on the right The molecule on the left has more hydrogens than the molecule on the right The molecule on the left has fewer hydrogens than the molecule on the right O The molecule on the left has more carbon atoms than the molecule on the right
Why does the number of known compounds of carbon far exceeds the number of compounds of all the other elements combined? Select the correct response O Carbon cannot form multiple combinations of single, double, and triple bonds with itself and with other elements Carbon atorns have the special property of being able to bond together to form chains, rings, spheres, and sheets of almost any size O Carbon can fom multiple combinations with itself but not with other elements. Carbon is a small atom that can form more than four bonds
