Give the condensed structural formula for 3-bromopentane. A) CH₃CH₂CHBrCH₂CH₂CH₃ B) CH₃CHBrCH₂CH₂CH₃ C) (CH₃)₃CHBrCH₂CH₃ D) CH₃CH₂CHBrCH₂CH₃ E) CH₃CH₂CBr₃CH₂CH₃

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The condensed structural formula for 3-bromopentane is CH3CH2CH(Br)CH2CH3, which can be represented as CH3(CH2)2CH(Br)CH3 in condensed form. The correct answer is D, which represents this condensed formula correctly. All of the other options either have incorrect or unnecessary parentheses, or they have an extra carbon atom or bromine atom.
