Question

Draw the structural Formula of propane ​

Answer 1

The structural  formula of propane is $CH_{3} CH_{2} CH_{3} .$

Explanation:

To make the structural formula of a compound, we

1. Predict the number of carbon, from the IUPAC name.

propane = 3 carbon chain.

2. No functional group is mentioned in the name, hence the structure does not contain any side chain.

3. The suffix in the chain is $- ane$ which gives information that no double/triple bond is present.

Constructing the structure.

$CH_{3} CH_{2} CH_{3} .$
