(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of a hydrocarbon with molecular formula
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are those compounds that are mainly composed of C and H atoms. The branch of chemistry that deals with preparations, reactions and properties of organic compounds is said to be organic chemistry. The molecular formula of an organic compound represents the number of bonded atoms with their atomic symbols.
Functional groups are the groups of atoms or atoms which are bonded with the parent carbon chain in the organic molecule and are responsible for the physical and chemical properties of the compound. In organic chemistry, there are different functional groups such as carboxylic acid, alcohol, ester, or amide.
