How to Convert Expanded Formula to Skeletal Formula Help Me With Organic Chemistry

This video will teach you how to convert an Expanded Structural Formula into a Skeletal Formula.

Help me with skeletal formulas! Help me with expanded structural formulas!

Expanded structural formula show you all the details of a structure. All the bonds and all the atoms must be drawn. In a condensed structural formula some of the structural details are removed and the reader is left to interpret parts of the structure. In a skeletal formula the carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms attached to carbon atoms are never shown. It is understood that in skeletal formula (line angle formula) that were ever a line terminates there is a carbon and where ever two or more lines come together there is a carbon located at that location.

This video is part of a series called How to be Successful in Organic Chemistry. It this series I go over numerous problems that a student could expect to see in there organic chemistry 1 course. Doing organic chemistry practice problems will make you more successful in organic chemistry and biochemistry.

I recommend that you download the problem from the link below and attempt the problem yourself and use this video to correct your work.
