Use the pictures shown to identify three ways of drawing hydrocarbon molecules. Then write the molecular formulas. (1 point each)

The three ways  in which the hydrocarbons are represented are:

a. The ball and stick model

b. Condensed structure

c. Skeletal structure

The molecular formula are

a. C₇H₁₆

b. C₆H₁₄

c. C₅H₁₂

Let us understand these models and forms one by one:

a. The ball and stick model of organic compounds, displays the atoms and bonds in three dimensions, representing the atoms by spares and the bonds by rods.

b. The condensed structural formula are similar to the structural formula with the difference that the formula is written in a linear fashion which conserves space and increases ease of writing and are written out faster.

c. In the skeletal structure diagram, the atoms are of the organic compound are combined together in the structural drawing of the essential features of the organic compound. In a skeletal structure, depicts the skeleton of a compound as it is made up of the molecule's skeletal atoms.
