What is the extended and shortened structural formula for 2-methylpentane

Chemistry
1 answer:
kotykmax [81]3 years ago
6 0

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.

What is the conservation of mass
adelina 88 [10]

Answer: This is the definition if that's what you want.

Explanation:The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system's mass cannot change, so quantity can neither be added nor be removed.
