Question

Condense formula of octa-1, 4-diene

Answer 1

Explanation:

condensed formula is

ch2=chch2ch=ch(ch)2ch3

Answer 2

Answer:

CH₂=CH-CH=CH-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃

Explanation:

• A condensed formula is one which represents the structure of the compound without any linkages between atoms

• Using the condensed structure formula we can analyse

1. The atoms present in the compound
2. What type of bond is present
3. Which atoms are connected with each other

• Condensed structural formula helps us to represent molecules in a concise format

• Oct means 8 indicating there are 8 carbon atoms

• Diene means there are two double bonds

• 1,4 indicates the position of the double bonds
