In the previous segment, we learnt about the Electron dot structure of hydrocarbons. In this segment, we will learn about the Branched and ring structure of hydrocarbons.
What is the Straight chain structure of alkanes?
Straight chain structure of alkanes is One Long Straight Chain of all the carbon atoms. For example, the arrangement for six carbon atoms in an alkane is shown below:
Straight chain structure
What is the Branched chain structure of alkanes?
Branched chain structure of alkanes is a structure where the carbon atoms get attached as the
Side Chain to the other carbon atoms.
For example, the arrangement for six carbon atoms in an alkane is shown below:
Branched-chain structure
What is the Ring structure of alkanes?
