Chapter 12, Problem 12.70P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Draw the line-angle formulae for the compounds with molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}$. Identify the constitutional and cis-trans isomers from the drawn structures.

Concept Introduction:

The line angle formulae are the abbreviated structures of organic compounds. Here each line represents a bond (for multiple bonds multiple lines are drawn) and the vertex of each line represents a carbon. These are easy to draw as compared to condensed structures.
