Question
Chapter 11, Problem 21P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Interpret the reason the condensed formula is not useful for showing geometry of molecule.
Concept Introduction:
Condensed structure of molecule is the arrangement of atoms in a molecule almost in straight chain. Usually the atoms are arranged in horizontal plane in condensed formula.
Geometry of a molecule is the arrangement of molecules or atom on principal chain in 3 dimensional manner. The geometry helps in providing the shape of molecule along with bond length and bond angle.

Structural Isomerism of Alkanes Construct models for the five alkanes that have the molecular formula C6H14.

Thus the molecules they represent are structural isomers of one another. Note the tetrahedral geometry of each carbon atom. Draw an extended and a condensed structure (NOT skeletal/line angle) of each structural isomer, then determine its IUPAC name. Recall that since the IUPAC name specifies the number of each type of atom and how they are connected, each structural isomer will have a different name. Each name should very specifically describe the structure.
