ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

Line - bond structures are used to indicate covalent bonds by using lines to represent two electrons shared between two atoms.

Step 2 of 3

Let’s draw a line-bond structure for propane

The given molecules - Propane

Molecular formula - \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}\)

  • Draw the first carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms.
  • Draw a bond connecting the first carbon atom to a second carbon atom. Draw bonds between the second carbon atom and two hydrogen atoms.
