Question
In fac, fthebays of drawing of the actual molecular geometry. (b) In fact, one of the above ways of drawing in in. this molecule is incorrect. Which is it, and when then should a line drawing, or a portion of a line drawing, be drawn in a zigzag fashion and when should it not be? What is the source of most hydrocarbons, and what ethical issues are involved in burning hydrocarbons as fuel? 17.35 Consider the following two formulas, written in what is often called a condensed formula: 17.35 (a) (CH3) CCH2CH(CH3)CH2CH3 (b) CH3CH2 CH2CH2CH2CH3 One of them is branched and one of them is not. Turn them into line drawings; indicate which anExplanation / Answer
a) (CH3)3CCH2CH(CH3)CH2CH3
b) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3
Both formulas are condensed formules, but the first is a condensed formula of a branched hydrocarbon compound, because it has three methyl groups linked to a cuaternary carbon and one methyl group linked to terciary carbon. They are indicated between parenthesis. The second formula is a condensed formula of a linear hydrocabon compound because the formula doesn't have parenthesis.
