![**Organic Chemistry Practice Question: Condensed Formula Matching**
**Question 42 of 48**
**Problem Statement:**
Match this condensed formula, CH₃(CH₂)₄CO₂CH₂CH₃, with the correct skeletal drawing.
**Options:**
A) I
B) II
C) III
D) IV
**Diagram Details:**
- **I:**
- Structure shows a branching carbon chain with different functional groups: hydroxyl (OH), and possibly ester or other groups.
- **II:**
- Features a linear structure with coefficients indicating the number of carbon atoms and specific attachment points for functional groups.
- **III:**
- Presents another form of carbon chain, similar to I, differing bond angles and positioning of possible functional groups.
- **IV:**
- A compact representation of the compound with a specific arrangement of carbons and functional groups, emphasizing a distinct structure.
Review the given sketches to identify the correct structural formula corresponding to the condensed formula CH₃(CH₂)₄CO₂CH₂CH₃. Analyze the placement of each carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atoms, along with the associated functional groups (such as the ester group in this molecule) to find the accurate matching skeletal structure.
**Answer Choices:**
- **A) I**
- **B) II**
- **C) III**
- **D) IV**
Take your time to visually interpret each diagram and match it correctly with the condensed formula provided. This exercise will enhance your ability to translate between different representations of organic molecules.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8a09ebe6-d080-4a70-87c5-8fd791178e97%2F8f480ec7-47c6-4df8-b79a-9252e042dfcf%2Furr8ufr_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
