Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
1. Complete structural formula
Methylpropane consists of a chain of three carbons with another carbon atom attached to the middle carbon. Enough H atoms are added to give each C atom a total of four bonds.
The complete structural formula is shown below (There is a C atom at each intersection).
2. Condensed structural formula
A condensed structural formula is designed to be typed on one line.
The molecule has three CH₃ groups attached to a single carbon atom, so the condensed structural formula is
(CH₃)₃CH
The formula is also often written CH₃CH(CH₃)CH₃ and as (CH₃)₂CHCH₃.
