Chapter 1.4, Problem 1.29P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The changes that occurs in the transformation has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Bond-line drawings are the one where carbon atom and hydrogen atoms are not explicitly shown.  Hydrogen atoms bonded to an atom apart from carbon is shown explicitly.  These drawings show the information about the carbon skeleton with any functional group that is attached to it.  In Bond-line drawings, the lines are drawn in zigzag format.  Each endpoint or the corners represent a carbon atom.  Double bonds and triple bonds are shown by double lines and triple lines respectively.

Bond-line structures are very much helpful in finding out the changes or transformations that occurs in a chemical structure.  Other type of structure drawing apart from bond-line drawing are little difficult to interpret what happens in a chemical reaction.  When we look into the reaction depicted using bond-line drawing, we can find immediately what is happening in the reaction and what transformation has taken place.
