All right. Hi, everyone. So this question is asking us to choose the correct condensed structural formula of the compound three pentane thy. And here I have four different answer choices labeled A through D. So one quick note about the condensed structural formula recall that condensed structural formulas of organic molecules showcase all carbon carbon bonds as well as bonds between carbon and other atoms. But with hydrogen, it's a little bit different. I your chins or the bonds between carbon and hydrogens, as well as other atoms to hydrogen are not explicitly shown. Rather hydrogen atoms are grouped next to the atom that they are connected to directly. So for example, in the case of Ethane, instead of drawing all of the bonds between carbon and all hydrogens, the appropriate amount of hydrogens would simply be grouped next to its respective carbon atom. So with this in mind, I always like to work backwards when it comes to Iupac names starting off with the parent chain. Now, the parrot chain is the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms. And given the the phrase Penta, the longest carbon chain contains five carbons. So the first thing I will do here is draw out five carbon atoms connecting to each other in a straight line or the content structural formula. And so my next step is to talk about the suffix here file recall that THS look very similar to alcohols, but instead of having a hydroxy or oh group, you instead have an SH group attached. So given the name three contained, th the SH group is attached to carbon three at the center of the parent chain. So with this in mind, the last step here is to group together hydrogens to their respective carbon atoms. Recall that carbon prefers to have four covalent bonds to make sure that it is neutral. So carbon one or carbon to one and five actually because they have one bond each to another carbon atom, they would both require three hydrogen atoms to make sure that they have all four bonds. Carbons, two and four. On the other hand, because they each have two bonds, they would require two hydrogens each. And lastly because carbon three already has three bonds to other atoms, only one hydrogen is required for it. So here is the condensed structural formula. But what I want to point out here is that when it comes to the carbon atoms inside the parent chain, their hydrogen atoms are depicted either above or below the condensed structural formula or the parent chain, I should say another way of writing this is by instead of grouping together the hydrogen atoms horizontally. So I can instead write the appropriate amount of hydrogen atoms to the right side of its respective carbon. So that's what I'm going to do here. So now, now that I have the parent chain, I can go ahead and attach sh to carbon three and there you have it. So the condensed structural formula of three contained tho corresponds to option d in the multiple choice. And so with that being said, thank you so very much for watching. And I hope you found this helpful.
