"A condensed structural formula is a system of writing organic structures in a line of text It shows all atoms, but omits the vertical bonds and most or all the horizontal single bonds. The condensed structural formulas of ethane, propane, and ethanol are CH;CH3, CH;CH¿CH3, and CH;CH;OH It uses parentheses to show that polyatomic groups within a formula are attached to the nearest non-hydrogen atom on the left." [from Socratic.org] For 2-methylpropane (old name isobutane): CH3CH(CH3)CH3 Draw condensed structural formulas for: 3-ethylpentane 1,2-dibromobutane Put side chains in parentheses.

It uses parentheses to show that polyatomic
groups within a formula are attached to the nearest
non-hydrogen atom on the left." [from Socratic.org]
For 2-methylpropane (old name isobutane):
CH3CH(CH3)CH3
Draw condensed structural formulas for:
3-ethylpentane
1,2-dibromobutane
Put side chains in parentheses.
