Question

Write a condensed formula using (CH2–) Octane

Answer 1

Answer:CH3-(CH2)6-CH3 .... condensed formula of Octane (C8H18)

Explanations:

The formula for Octane is given by :

`C_8H_(18)`

STEP 1 : Write down the structural formula of Octane

• The condensed formula can be determined by grouping :

• CH3 -CH2 -CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2 -CH2 -CH3

This can be expressed as :

CH3-(CH2)6-CH3 .... condensed formula of Octane (C8H18)
