Welcome back everyone to another video, draw the condensed formula for Betty Hanno. We want to draw the condensed formula and we simply want to recall that a condensed formula is generally a single line text formula, right? It essentially doesn't represent bonding. However, it is logical and we can recreate the formula out of it. So we're given the structure of beetle ethanolate and based on the ending oat, we can state that the structure is an ether. It has an al group which is a beetle group and then our parent is Ethanoic. So first of all, let's draw the structure itself. We know that ester, they have Carbel, they have an actual group bonded from the left, the Coxie group on the right. So now if it's ethanolate, we know that Ethane is a two membered alkane and Ethanoic is well a two membered ester. When we consider the parent, if we already see one carbon, then there must be an additional carbon on the left. And the beetle group, it essentially means that the alcoy part is going to have a total of four carbon atoms in a straight chain, right? So what we want to do from here is simply add the missing hydrogen atoms, every carbon must have four bonds. So if we only see one bond, we're going to add three extra hydrogens for the carbon atoms with two bonds, we're adding two hydrogens to satisfy the valency or the octet rule. And of course, for the final carbon, we need to add three hydrogens because that specific carbon only has one bond. And now we want to use this structure to write a condensed formula. We can begin from left to right. First of all, we have C three, which is followed by co and then we have C two, C two, another C two and C three. So what we can do is simply take that CH two, put it in parentis and write a subscript of three. In the end. It must be a condensed formula, right. So we are trying to condense those repeating units into one fragment with a subscript of repetition. And finally, we're going to write CH three, which we can see at the end. And that would be the condensed formula for beetle Ethanoic. Thank you for watching.
