Chapter 1, Problem 36P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Bond-line formulas for the given compounds are need to be written.

Concept introduction:

For drawing bond-line formulae, the following rules are followed.

A bond is represented by a line.

The bends in a line indicate carbon atoms; unless any other group is shown specifically.

$\text{Cs}$ are not written for carbon atoms

$\text{Hs}$ are not written for hydrogen atoms, however if a three-dimensional perspective needs to be given, then dashed or solid wedges are used.

Any element other than carbon or hydrogen is indicated by its symbol.

Hydrogen atoms bonded to elements other than carbon are shown by writing the symbol.
