how are hydrogen atoms represented in an alkane skeletal structure?
select the correct answer below:
hydrogens are represented by the vertices
hydrogen atoms are not drawn
hydrogens are represented by their elemental symbol h
hydrogens are drawn as straight line bonds coming off carbons

Explanation:

In an alkane skeletal structure, carbon - carbon bonds are shown as lines and carbon atoms are located at the vertices and endpoints of the lines. Hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon are assumed to be present to satisfy the carbon's tetravalency but are not drawn.

Answer:

Hydrogen atoms are not drawn
