How to Convert Expanded Formula to Condensed Formula Practice Video, Help Me With Organic Chemistry

In this video I will help you learn how to convert expanded structural formula into condensed structural formula. This is a critical skill any organic chemistry student will need to learn to be successful.Show more

This video will help you convert expanded structural formula to condensed structural formula.

Expanded structural formula show you all the details of a structure. All the bonds and all the atoms must be drawn. In a condensed structural formula some of the structural details are removed and the reader is left to interpret parts of the structure. In a condensed structural formula segments of the molecule are abbreviated as groups such as methyl (CH3) or methylene (CH2) as so on.

This video is part of a series called How to be Successful in Organic Chemistry. It this series I go over numerous problems that a student could expect to see in there organic chemistry 1 course. Doing organic chemistry practice problems will make you more successful in organic chemistry and biochemistry.

I recommend that you download the problem from the link below and attempt the problem yourself and use this video to correct your work.
