Concept introduction:
The structural formula is a simplified model that represents the arrangement of atoms and bonds in a molecule.
In the IUPAC name of an organic compound, the number before the root name or substituent represent the position of the substituent. The
The number of carbon atoms in the parent hydrocarbon chain is represented by the root name. For example: ‘prop’ represent three carbon atoms in the parent hydrocarbon chain. The suffix for an

- What is the CONDENSED structural formula for 2,3-dimethylpentane?arrow_forwardWrite a condensed structural formula for a cyclic ketone with the formula C5H8Oarrow_forwardAldehydes and ketones can be named in a systematic way by counting the number of carbon atoms (including the carbonyl carbon) that they contain. The name of the aldehyde or ketone is based on the hydrocarbon with the same number of carbon atoms. The ending -al for aldehyde or -one for ketone is added as appropriate. Draw the structural formulas for 3-methyl-2-butanone.arrow_forward
