Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The model structure has to be converted into line drawing along with identification of Functional Group.
Concept Introduction:
Line structure is a simple and quick way to represent organic molecules without showing carbons and hydrogens present. Drawing a molecule in this way is very simple:
It follows the following guide line:
- Each carbon- carbon bond is represented by a line.
- Anywhere a line ends or begins, as well as any vertex where two lines meet represents a carbon atom.
- Any atom other than another’s carbon or hydrogen attached to a carbon must be shown.
- Since a neutral carbon atom form four bonds, all bonds not shown for any carbon are understood to be the number of carbon – hydrogen bonds needed to have.
Functional group: Organic compounds can be classified into various families according to the
Ether: A class of organic compounds, where oxygen is attached to two alkyl or aryl groups.

Functional group: Organic compounds can be classified into various families according to the functional groups they contain a functional group is a part of a larger molecule and is composed of a group of atoms that has characteristic structure and chemical reactivity.
Functional group:
An atom or group of atoms which has physical and chemical properties is known as functional group.
Ketone: A compound containing a carbonyl group
Alkene: Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing double bonds.
Ether: A class of organic compounds, where oxygen is attached to two alkyl or aryl groups.
