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?
@@cohesivechemistry thank youso much for your response ✨🥰 I'm really having trouble on this part 😞 our chem teacher doesn't respond to any of our questions 😮💨
this help a lot ❤
and for the condensed structural does it have to be in that exact order? is it still fine if I get everything right but not in that particular order ?
The order is definitely important.
would it be wrong if i don't put the parenthesis?
Similar to your other question, it is important for clarity.
What if it's skeletal to condensed ?? How would I know the number of hydrogen 😢
