Condensed structural diagram

B) This condensed structural diagram shows only carbon-carhon bonds. (C) This line structural diagram uses lines to depict carbon-carbon bonds. 

Two-dimensional structural diagrams of organic compounds, such as condensed structural diagrams and line structural diagrams, work well for flat molecules. As shown in the table above, however, molecules containing single-bonded carbon atoms are not flat. 

To draw a condensed structural diagram of a hydrocarbon, follow the steps below. Then examine the Sample Problem that follows. 

Draw a condensed structural diagram for 3-ethyl-2-methylhexane. 

Then draw a condensed structural diagram to represent it. p... 

Draw a condensed structural diagram and a line structural diagram of each compound. Include the lUPAC name of the compound. 

For each reaction, name the ester that forms and draw its condensed structural diagram. 

Predict the complete, condensed, and line structural diagrams for the three isomers of C5H12. Then predict the complete and condensed structural diagrams for the four isomers of C3H9N. 

Q O You have seen the expanded molecular formulas and condensed structural diagrams for the five isomers of C6Hi4. Draw the complete and line structural diagrams for each of these isomers. 

As you learned earlier in this chapter, three kinds of diagrams can be used to represent the structure of a hydrocarbon. The easiest kind is probably the condensed structural diagram. When you are asked to draw a condensed structural diagram for an alkane, such as 2,3-dimethylhexane, you can follow several simple rules. These rules are listed below. After you have studied the rules, use the Practice Problems to practise your alkane-drawing skills. 

G What happens when there is more than one double bond or more than one ring Try to draw a condensed structural diagram for each of the following compounds. 

Draw condensed structural diagrams for each of the following compounds.
