Question

consider the alkane with molecular formula c₃h₈. part: 0 / 2 part 1 of 2 write the condensed formula.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall alkane structure

Alkanes have single - bonds only. For propane ($C_3H_8$), carbon atoms are bonded in a chain.

Step2: Write condensed formula

The condensed formula for $C_3H_8$ is $CH_3CH_2CH_3$.

Answer:

$CH_3CH_2CH_3$
