How to Convert Expanded Formula to Condensed Formula Practice 2! Help Me With Organic Chemistry

In this video I will help you learn how to convert expanded structural formula into condensed structural formula. This is a critical skill any organic chemistry student will need to learn to be successful.

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 condensed structural formula segments of the molecule are abbreviated as groups such as methyl (CH3) or methylene (CH2) as so on.

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.
