Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The skeletal structure of the given compound is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The skeletal structure of a compound is represented by the line having several vertices. These vertices in the skeletal structure represent the carbon atoms presents in the structure. In the skeletal structure, the valency of the carbon is satisfied by the hydrogens which are not shown. If any atom other than carbon and hydrogen is present in the molecule then it is denoted by its symbol in the skeletal structure.
(b)
