Chapter 1, Problem 1.59P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given structure of glucose is to be redrawn as a line structure.

Concept introduction:

Line structures are compact like condensed structures. When drawing line structures, carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms attached to them are not drawn explicitly. A carbon atom is implied at the intersection of two bonds and at the end of each bond. All other atoms except carbon and hydrogen are shown explicitly. Non-bonding electrons are usually not shown unless they are important to emphasize an aspect of the atom.
