Question

Draw the structural formula (not the skeletal formula) for 2-octene.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

2-octene is a structural isomer of octene. Octene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon (alkene) with 8 carbon atoms. The structural formula of 2-octene is seen below

    H               H    H   H   H  H

     I                 I     I     I     I    I

H- C - C = C - C - C - C - C - C - H

     I     I     I     I     I     I     I     I

    H   H    H   H   H   H   H   H

The structural formula of 2-octene is different from that of octene in the sense that, it's double bond is found in between the second and the third carbon (on the second bond position).
