(a)
Interpretation:Condensed formula that shows multiple bonds, lone pairs should be drawn for the pair
Concept introduction: There are three ways of representation of molecular structures. The hashed and wedged formulas have three types of bonds. The bond above the plane is represented by bold hash while bonds behind the plane are represented by wedge. The bonds in plane are represented by normal bonds.
Bond-line formula depicts the zig-zag framework of carbon chain with attached substituents. The terminal position represents a methyl while the non-terminal is for methylene group. For instance, the propane is written in this notation as follows:

- Structural Isomers: In the next part you will learn a little about structural isomers and how to draw them. Structural isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula, but different bonding arrangements or connectivities. In other words, the atoms are connected in a different order. For example, there are 2 different compounds with the molecular formula C4H10. They are given below: H H-C- H -H H H HHH H- H H-C -H Η ΗΗ H H Do you see how the atoms are bonded in a different order in the 2 structures? So they are structural isomers. C3H12 Find three different molecular structures, isomers, with this formula. (Hint: Remember the C rule where every C atom needs to have 4 bonds.) C2H60 Find two different molecules with this formula. (Hint: What are the 2 ways you can C5H10 How many structural isomers can you find for this formula? (Hint: Notice that 2 H atoms have been removed. This means that there is EITHER 1 double bond OR there is a ring structure.)
