DRAWING ORGANIC STRUCTURES
1.Using propane as an example, write formulae or draw diagrams as appropriate to show what is
meant by (i) a molecular formula (ii) a structural formula (show the difference between a fully displayed and the more usual simplified version) (iii) a skeletal formula (Don't know what propane is? Look it up!)
2.A compound has the molecular formula C2H4Cl2. Look carefully at the following displayed
formulae. How many different compounds do they represent?
3.Which of these structures are the same?
4.Draw the following molecule using conventional bond notation to show its 3-D shape.
Use B (black), R (red), G (green) and W (white) for the symbols for the various atoms or groups. www.chemguide.co.ukH C C H HHCl
