S3.2.5 - How do we convert between full structural, condensed, and skeletal formulas? (OLD 10.1)

An explanation, with examples, of how to convert between full structural, condensed structural and skeletal formulas.

this help a lot ❤

What if it's skeletal to condensed ?? How would I know the number of hydrogen 😢

[@cohesivechemistry]

Carbon always forms four bonds. So if you see a skeletal formula with a carbon that has a single bond to another atom (e.g. C or O) then there must be 3 hydrogens. If a carbon has two bonds to other atoms, then there must be 2 hydrogens. If a carbon atom has 3 bonds to other atoms then it must only have 1 hydrogen. Make sense?
