Draw the skeletal structures for these two molecules

Short Answer

Expert verified

The skeletal structures for both the molecules given in the question are drawn.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Skeletal Structures

The skeletal structure of an organic compound is the collection of atoms bound together that make up the substance's basic structure. Chains, branches, and/or rings of bound atoms can make up the skeleton. Heteroatoms are skeletal atoms that are not carbon or hydrogen.

02

Determination of the skeletal structure of the molecule in part a.

The compound contains seven carbon atoms in which six carbon atoms are in a cycle while one carbon is attached as a substituent group. Every carbon represents a corner in skeletal structure. And it forms a toluene molecule whose skeletal structure is drawn.

03

Determination of the skeletal structure of the molecule in part b.

The given molecule contains a chain of five carbons atom whose name is pentane and every carbon represents a corner in the skeletal structure. The skeletal structure is drawn.
