Chapter 2, Problem 2LGP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Among 15 different structures of the molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$, one example each using the dash format, the condensed format, the bond-line format, and the three-dimensional format are to be provided and the remaining structures in any format are to be written.

Concept Introduction:

In dash line formula, all the symbols of atoms and the bonding electron pair lines are shown.

In a condensed format, the symbols of atoms are listed in the order as they appear in the structure of the molecule without bond lines or dashes.

In bond-line formula, the bonds between the atoms are drawn in a zigzag format and every end point is considered a carbon atom.

In three-dimensional representations of any molecule, the bonds in the plane of a paper are represented using ordinary lines, the bonds in front of the paper are indicated by solid wedges, whereas the bonds behind the paper are indicated by dashed wedges.
