Question

What are the molecular formula, the structural formula, the condensed structural formula, and the abbreviated line formula for pentane?

Answer 1

Pentane :

• In IUPAC nomenclature, the name pentane refers solely to n-pentane, the group's unbranched isomer.
• Pentane is a five-carbon-atom straight-chain alkane. It functions as both a non-polar solvent and a refrigerant.

Molecular formula:

• The molecular formula that gives the total number of atoms of each element in each molecule of a substance
• ${\mathrm{C}}_5{\mathrm{H}}_{12}$ is the chemical formula for pentane, often known as n-pentane.

Structural formula :

• Chemical bonds between atoms in a molecule are identified by structural formulae.
• will be the structural formula.

Condensed structural formula:

• Condensed Structural Formula is simply a set in which organic molecules are written in a line of text.
• ${\mathrm{CH}}_2{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_2\right)}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_3$ will be the condensed structural formula.

Line formula:

• A two-dimensional depiction of substances in which atoms are linked by lines representing single or many bonds with no indication or implication of bond spatial direction.
• For pentane the line formula will be
