Question

consider the molecular formula c₄h₁₀. part 1 of 2 write the condensed formula of one possible alkane with the molecular formula c₄h₁₀ ch₃ch₂ch₂ch₃ part: 1 / 2 part 2 of 2 draw the bond - line (skeletal) formula of one possible alkane with the molecular formula c₄h₁₀ click and drag to start drawing a

Explanation:

Step1: Recall bond - line formula rules

In bond - line (skeletal) formula, carbon atoms are represented by the ends of lines and intersections of lines. Hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon are not shown explicitly.

Step2: Draw for butane ($C_4H_{10}$)

For $C_4H_{10}$ (butane), we draw a straight - chain structure with 4 carbon atoms connected by single bonds. It will be a zig - zag line with 3 lines representing the 3 C - C bonds.

Answer:

A straight - chain zig - zag structure with 3 lines (representing C - C bonds) and no atoms labeled (since carbon atoms are at the ends and intersections and hydrogen atoms are assumed to satisfy the valency of carbon).
