Question

Draw the skeletal structures of two different molecules that are each made of 5 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms. PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

1)

     HH H H H  

      |   |   |   |  |

H- C-C-C-C-C-H

      |   |   |   |   |

     H H H H  H

This one can be written as

CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

2)

       H H  H  H  

         |   |    |   |  

  H  -C- C-C- C-H

         |    |   |    |

        H  H  |    H

            H -C-H

                  |

                 H

This one can be written as  

CH3 - CH2 -CH -CH3

                     |

                    CH3

Answer 2

Answer : The skeletal structures of two different molecules are shown below.

Explanation :

Skeletal formula or line-angle formula : In the skeletal formula, the carbon atoms are represented at the corner and ends of the lines with some angle and the hydrogen atoms are hidden.

The skeletal structures of two different molecules that are:

• The first skeletal structure of a compound is in which all five carbon atoms are in single chain: $CH_3-(CH_2)_3-CH_3$
• The second skeletal structure of a compound is in which four carbon atoms are in single chain and 5th carbon atom is attached to the second carbon in the chain: $CH_3-CH(CH_3)-CH_2-CH_3$
