Question

Convert the following structures into skeletal drawings

(b)

                                                1,3-pentadiene

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

(b)

                                         Skeletal structure of 1,3-pentadiene

1,3-pentadiene

1,3-pentadiene is an organic compound with a molecular formula . As the name suggests Penta means five carbon atoms are present. In the name, diene suggests the presence of two double bonds, one at the first position and the other at the third position.

Skeletal structure of 1,3-pentadiene

The skeletal structure of 1,3-pentadiene shows the carbon atom as a dot and the hydrogen atom by a line. In this, a double line shows a double between carbons. The skeletal structure of 1,3-pentadiene is represented as:
