Draw the skeletal structure for each of the compounds

1. CH3CHO

2. CH3OCH3

3. CH3COOH

Short Answer

Expert verified

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

Step by step solution

01

Understanding skeletal structure

Skeletal structures are structural representations of condensed organic compounds. Unlike Kekule structures here the 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 formula from the pictorial representation. Then eventually convert the condensed forms into skeletal structures.

Calculate the percentages of α-d-glucose and β-d-glucose present at equilibrium from the specific rotations of α-d-glucose, β-d-glucose, and the equilibrium mixture. Compare your values with those given in Section 20.10. (Hint:The specific rotation of the mixture equals the specific rotation of α-d-glucose times the fraction of glucose present in the α-form plus the specific rotation of β-d-glucose times the fraction of glucose present in the β-form.)
