Figure 3.1 Variations in carbon skeletons
Structural formula Methane H Ball-and-stick model Space-filling model C The 4 single bonds of carbon point to the corners of a tetrahedron. Ethane Propane Carbon skeletons vary in length. Butane Isobutane Skeletons may be unbranched or branched. 1-Butene 2-Butene Skeletons may have double bonds, which can vary in location. Cyclohexane Benzene Skeletons may be arranged in rings.
