Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The condensed structural formula for glyceryl tripalmitate should be determined.
Concept introduction:
► Condensed structural formula:
The condensed structural formula omits the carbon and hydrogen bonds and uses lines between the bonded atoms, it is an easier way to draw the line-bonded structural formula.
► Line structural formula:
The line angle formula of an organic compound is simple representation of a molecule’s bonding. It is also called as skeletal formula.
