Question

Bond line formula of \ceHOCH(CN)2\ce{HOCH(CN)_2} is: image

Options
  1. a

    Structure A

  2. b

    Structure B

  3. c

    Structure C

  4. d

    Structure D

Correct Answerd

Structure D

Detailed Solution

Bond-Line Formula Conventions: In bond-line (skeletal) formulas:

  1. Carbon atoms are represented by line junctions and ends
  2. Hydrogen atoms on carbon are not shown (implied)
  3. Heteroatoms (O, N, etc.) are explicitly shown
  4. Hydrogen on heteroatoms is shown when necessary
  5. Multiple bonds are shown as multiple lines image Correct structure:

The bond-line formula should show:

  • A central point (carbon)
  • OH group extending from it
  • Two C≡N groups extending from it
  • The H on central carbon may or may not be shown depending on convention
