Draw the condensed structure for Butane and please follow the steps below to answer the question. Step 1: Draw the 2-dimensional structural formula for the molecule Step 2: Identify the carbon backbone (or skeleton) and any branches or side-chains in the structural formula as well as any functional groups such as halogen (group 17) atoms. Step 3: Identify groups of atoms along the carbon backbone in the 2-dimensional structural formula. Step 4: Re-draw the formula by replacing the identified groups of atoms in the 2-dimensional structural
Draw the condensed structure for Butane and please follow the steps below to answer the question.
Step 1: Draw the 2-dimensional structural formula for the molecule
Step 2: Identify the carbon backbone (or skeleton) and any branches or side-chains in the structural formula as well as any
Step 3: Identify groups of atoms along the carbon backbone in the 2-dimensional structural formula.
Step 4: Re-draw the formula by replacing the identified groups of atoms in the 2-dimensional structural formula with their condensed structure, or semi-structural formula.
Step 5: Remove single carbon-carbon covalent bonds from the backbone or skeleton (this step is not absolutely necessary).
Step 6: If the molecule contains branches or side-chains:
(a) condense the structure as for the carbon backbone
(b) use parantheses (round brackets) to enclose groups of atoms attached to the chain
(c) use a subscript number to indicate the number of times this group occurs at that position
(d) write this group to the right of the carbon atom of the backbone at the position it is located.
