what is the structural formulas of ethanol?
A condensed structural formula is a system of writing organic structures in a line of text. It shows all atoms, but omits the vertical bonds and most or all the horizontal single bonds. The condensed structural formulas of ethane, propane, and ethanol are. CHâCHâ, CHâCHâCHâ, and CHâCHâOH. It uses parentheses to show that polyatomic groups within a formula are attached to the nearest non-hydrogen atom on the left. So the condensed structural formula of propan-2-ol is CHâCH(OH)CHâ.
