Chapter 11, Problem 21P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Interpret the reason the condensed formula is not useful for showing geometry of molecule.

Concept Introduction:

Condensed structure of molecule is the arrangement of atoms in a molecule almost in straight chain. Usually the atoms are arranged in horizontal plane in condensed formula.

Geometry of a molecule is the arrangement of molecules or atom on principal chain in 3 dimensional manner. The geometry helps in providing the shape of molecule along with bond length and bond angle.
