Answer



Part(a) The structure is 


Part(b) The structure is

Part(c) The structure is



1Part(a) Step 1 : Given information

We need to draw condensed structural formula of trans-1-bromo-2-chloroethene

2Part(a) Step 2 : Simplify

The Condensed Structural Formula is a system for writing organic compounds in a single line of text.
We write them in a sort of shorthand notation that contains more information than the chemical formula.
Required structure is


3Part(b) Step 1 : Given information

We need to draw condensed structural formula of cis-2-hexene

4Part(b) Step 2 : Simplify

The Condensed Structural Formula is a system for writing organic compounds in a single line of text.
We write them in a sort of shorthand notation that contains more information than the chemical formula.
Required structure is


5Part(c) Step 1 : Given information

We need to draw condensed structural formula of cis-4-octene

6Part(c) Step 2 : Simplify

The Condensed Structural Formula is a system for writing organic compounds in a single line of text.
We write them in a sort of shorthand notation that contains more information than the chemical formula.
Required structure is
