Question

When organic molecules are presented in simplified form, what should you place at each branch point?

Answer 1

Answer:

Each branch point represents a CH moiety

Explanation:

• Organic molecules in simplified form are drawn in skeleton formula.
• In skeleton formula, only some lines are shown in zig zag manner. Intersection point between two lines represents $CH_{2}$ moiety and each terminal end of a line represents $CH_{3}$ moiety.
• A branch is shown by a line too. The branch point represents a CH moiety and terminal end of branch represents a $CH_{3}$ moiety.
• For an example, consider an organic molecule 2-methyl propane.
• Simplified structure is shown below.

Answer 2

To answer the questions above - The carbon and hydrogen atoms are taken out of thefigure when shown in simplified form. Each branch point represents a carbon atom
