Chapter 10, Problem 10.37QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Condensed formula ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH(CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{)(CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{)}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH(CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{)CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ has to be converted into structural formula.

Concept Introduction:

Structural formula is the representation of the organic compound by showing all the bonds that is present between the atoms.  Even though complete structural information can be obtained using the structural formula, it consumes too much space and time for drawing large molecules.

Condensed structural formula can be converted into structural formula by explicitly showing the bonds between the atoms present in the molecule.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Condensed formula ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{C(CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{)}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ has to be converted into structural formula.
