Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A condensed structural formula shows the molecular structure in a concise and abbreviated form, using a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to represent the atoms and bonds in the molecule. Choice C is the only option that includes a condensed structural formula, with a series of CH units representing carbon and hydrogen atoms, and S and Cl units representing sulfur and chlorine atoms, respectively. The other choices include either multiple elements or long strings of numbers, which do not represent a condensed structural formula.
