Question

What are the condensed structural formulas for the following molecules?

Methanoic acid
cis-But-2-ene
Methyl benzoate
Cyclopentanol
3-Methylcyclohexene

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

Methanoic acid

Methanoic acid is a carboxylic acid that contains one carbon atom.

Its condensed structure is `"HCOOH"`.

We can't draw condensed structural formulas for the rest of the molecules.

Here are their structural formulas instead.

cis-But-2-ene

Methyl benzoate

Methyl benzoate is an ester of methanol and benzoic acid.

Cyclopentanol

Cyclopentanol has an `"OH"` group attached to a five-membered ring.

3-Methylcyclohexene

The alkene carbon atoms in cyclohexene automatically get numbers 1 and 2. The methyl group is on carbon 3.
