Problem 52P
Write a structural formula and a condensed structural formula for any two alkynes.
Solution 52P:
Here, we are going to write structural formula and a condensed formula for any two alkynes.
Step1:
Structural formula tells us about the atoms and molecules present in a compound and how those are connected whereas Condensed structural formula shows all atoms but in a line of text. It omits the vertical bonds.
Step2:
Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing at least one triple bond between two carbon atoms. Let us consider the two alkynes- ethyne(C2H2) and propyne(C3H4). Their structural formula and condensed structural formula are:
