Interpretation:
The condensed structural formula and the names of the
Concept Introduction:
► Condensed structural formula is a system adopted to show structures of organic molecules
► The connectivity between carbon atoms is depicted through lines while the carbon-hydrogen bonds are not explicitly shown.
► The name given to an organic molecule based on its structural formula which contains information about the number of carbon atoms, the nature and position of the bonds that connect the atoms as well as the types of substituents or
► In the case of alkenes, the root name is derived from the parent chain which contains the highest number of carbon atoms and is numbered from the end nearest to the carbon-carbon double bond.
