The skeletal structure of an organic compound is an abbreviated representation of its molecular structure, they are quick and easy to draw.
For example, the following image shows the skeletal structure of a compound:
The peaks represent the carbons. We must remember that carbon can have a maximum of 4 bonds.
Now, I will show you how is the structure of this specific compound:
This is ternary alcohol, called 2-methyl-2-butanol. If you see carefully, you will notice that each carbon has 4 bonds. The functional groups present will be OH. The skeletal structure will be:
I believe the answer you are looking for is Static Friction. Static Friction is the force that holds an object in place until it starts to move. Then it switches to rolling friction.
For example, if you have a 1/2 ton truck sitting in front of you and the truck is in neutral. (meaning it can roll if pushed). The truck is extremely hard to move at first. That is because static friction is holding it in place until the amount of force exceeds the limit of static friction.
So if we continue to push at the truck and you feel it starting to move, then once it starts moving it is much easier to push, that is because we moved past static friction to rolling friction. Rolling friction is what helps slow things down. If you roll a ball across a carpet floor it eventually comes to a stop.
32.6 grams divided by the molar mass of C2H6, which is 18.0584g/mol = 1.8 moles of C2H6.
As there are two carbon atoms per C2H6, we must multiply the number of moles of C2H6 by 2 to get the number of moles of Carbon which is 3.6 moles.
The answer is 3.6 moles.
Hope this helps.
