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

In this video I will help you to convert skeletal formula that contain double bonds to expanded structural formula that contain double bonds. Help Me With Organic Chemistry! This is an important skill to master for any organic chemist. It is also an important exam question.

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 HELP ME with 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.
