Write a structural formula and a condensed structural formula for any two alkenes.
Solution 51P:
Structural formula is the representation of a hydrocarbon that shows not only the numbers of each kind of atoms, but also how the atoms are bonded together.
The condensed structural formula only shows the groups of the hydrogen atoms with the carbon atom to which they are bonded. It shows only carbon-carbon bonds.
The structural formula structural formula and a condensed structural formula for two alkenes are Ethene and Propene.
