explain the types of representation of organic compound
Answers
Answer:
Each pair of electron making a covalent bond is represented by a dash (—). Two dashes represent a double bond and three dashes represent a triple bond. Such structural representation are called complete structural formulae or graphic or displayed formulae.
Polygon Formulae
There are many organic compounds, in which carbon atoms are not joined in a chain but are actually joined in a ring. These cyclic compounds are usually represented by polygon without showing carbon and hydrogen atoms.
In a Bond line structural representation, carbon and hydrogen atoms are not shown and the lines representing carbon-carbon bonds are drawn in a zig-zag fashion. ... Cyclic compounds are usually represented by bond line formulae as well. It is a simple, short and convenient method of representing organic molecules.
