In general, the skeleton is usually what becomes preserved in fossil. This is because over time, soft tissues and organs will degrade and decompose before the necessary time passes for fossilization. Bones are much more rigid and are able to overcome the process of fossilization. Based on this information, we can eliminate the skeleton and probably the feathers. We can eliminate feathers because we know and have evidence that feathers are capable of being fossilized. I would also say that we could eliminate the beak for this question. That's because birds' beaks are made of a protein called beta keratin, which is quite hard and durable. This leaves you with the decision of either the skin or internal organs. Which one do you think would degrade first? Think about the predators that may come by and eat parts of the bird after it dies.

What is the extended and shortened structural formula for 2-methylpentane
kotykmax [81]

The structural formula for 2-methylpentane is in Figure 1. It shows all the C-C and C-H bonds explicitly.

The bond-line formula for 2-methylpentane is in Figure 2. We assume that a carbon atom is at the ends and junctions of the lines. We do not show the H atom, but we mentally assume that there are enough to give each carbon a valence of four.

A condensed structural formula is designed to be typed <em>all on one line</em>. We could write the condensed structural formula for 2-methylpentane as either (CH₃)₂CH-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃ or CH₃CH(CH₃)CH₂CH₂CH₃.

The horizontal C-C bonds are <em>optional </em>— you can include or omit them as desired.
