Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Skeletal structures

The structure that represents the atoms and the bonds between them is named skeletal structure.

  • In a skeletal structure, the lines represent the bonds, and the endpoints or the intersection points of the lines represent the carbon atoms.
  • Hydrogen atoms are not shown in skeletal structures.
  • Heteroatoms are represented in skeletal structures.
02

Skeletal structures of compounds a and b

a. The skeletal structure of compound a is provided below.

03

Condensed structures 

The structures that show only the atoms present in a molecule but not the bonds between them are termed condensed structures.

Question: While the most common isotope of nitrogen has a mass number of 14 (nitrogen-14), a radioactive isotope of nitrogen has a mass number of 13 (nitrogen-13). Nitrogen-13 is used in PET (positron emission tomography) scans by physicians to monitor brain activity and diagnose dementia. For each isotope, give the following information: (a) the number of protons; (b) the number of neutrons; (c) the number of electrons in the neutral atom; (d) the group number; and (e) the number of valence electrons.
