Convert the models in problem 20 to skeletal structures.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Skeletal structures are the structural representation of condensed organic compounds. Unlike Kekule structures here, carbon or hydrogen atoms are not mentioned in the structure. The bonds are represented with short straight lines.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the Skeletal structure

Skeletal structures are the structural representation of condensed organic compounds. Unlike Kekule structures here, carbon or hydrogen atoms are not mentioned in the structure. The bonds are represented with short straight lines.

02

Writing the skeletal structure

First, write the condensed formulae from the pictorial representation. Then, convert the condensed forms into skeletal structures as shown below.
