Question

Convert this molecular formula into a structure that is consistent with the usual bonding patterns. c3h8

Answer 1

The molecular formula is a chemical formula which indicates the exact number of atoms present in the molecule.

The given molecular formula is $C_{3}H_{8}$ and the name of this molecule is propane consist of three carbon atoms which are linked with eight hydrogen atoms by single bonds.

Now, the figure 1 shows the condensed structural formula, figure 2 shows the structural formula and figure 3 shows the skeletal structural formula of propane.
