Chapter 4, Problem 4.6PP

a.

Summary Introduction

To draw:

The skeletal structure of the given compound.

Introduction:

Skeletal structure shows the bonds between the carbon atoms in the form of lines in two dimensions. The connection between the two carbons is indicated by a line. The number of $\text{C-H}$ bonds to any carbon atoms is equal to four minus the bonds formed by the carbon, as carbon always involves four bonds.
