To draw:
The three conformers of hexane using condensed structural formula.
Introduction:
Condensed structural formula is the writing of organic structures from left to right in one line and this structural formula is simple as it does not show any bonds or lone pairs of electrons and shows no connectivity of atoms in a molecule. It shows the shorter way to draw a molecule and is more simplified than that from Lewis structure. It shows all atoms except the vertical bonds and most or all the horizontal bonds.
Conformational isomers are the isomers that can be interconverted when there is a rotation about the single bonds. These isomers are the form of stereoisomers having the same connectivity but differ in the spatial arrangements. For example, gauche, eclipsed are the conformational isomers of one another.
