(a) para-dibromobenzene: \(\mathrm{C}_{6}\mathrm{H}_{4}\mathrm{Br}_{2}\) (b) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{CC}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3}\) (c) trans-2-butene: \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}\mathrm{CH}_{3}\) (d) cycloheptene: \(\mathrm{C}_{7}\mathrm{H}_{12}\) (e) methylcyclopentane: \(\mathrm{C}_{6}\mathrm{H}_{12}\)

Step by step solution

01

Identify the functional groups and structure

In this case, we have a benzene ring with two bromine substituents in the para position (opposite to each other).
02

Draw the condensed structural formula

For para-dibromobenzene, the condensed structural formula is: \(\mathrm{C}_{6}\mathrm{H}_{4}\mathrm{Br}_{2}\) (b) $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{CC}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3}$
03

Identify the functional groups and structure

In this compound, we can identify an alkene consisting of a carbon-carbon triple bond, and four methyl groups.
04

Draw the condensed structural formula

For this compound, the condensed structural formula remains the same as the given formula: \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{CC}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3}\) (c) trans-2-butene
05

Identify the functional groups and structure

In this case, it is an alkene with a carbon-carbon double bond in the 2nd carbon position. The term "trans" means the groups are located on opposite sides of the double bond.
06

Draw the condensed structural formula

For trans-2-butene, the condensed structural formula is: \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}\mathrm{CH}_{3}\) (d) cycloheptene
07

Identify the functional groups and structure

This compound is a cyclic alkene with seven carbons and one carbon-carbon double bond.
08

Draw the condensed structural formula

For cycloheptene, the condensed structural formula is: \(\mathrm{C}_{7}\mathrm{H}_{12}\) (e) methylcyclopentane
09

Identify the functional groups and structure

This compound is an alkane with a five-carbon cyclopentane ring and a one-carbon methyl group attached to one of the carbons.
10

Draw the condensed structural formula

For methylcyclopentane, the condensed structural formula is: \(\mathrm{C}_{6}\mathrm{H}_{12}\)
