Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Given structural formula of the compound has to be converted into line formula.
Concept Introduction:
Structural formula is the representation of the organic compound by showing all the bonds that is present between the atoms. Even though complete structural information can be obtained using the structural formula, it consumes too much space and time for drawing large molecules.
Line formula is the simplest representation of molecule. Carbon atoms are not explicitly shown in line formula. Intersection of lines and the end point of line are considered as carbon atoms. At the end-point it is understood as methyl group. Heteroatoms and hydrogen bonded to the heteroatoms are shown explicitly.
