Bond line formula of HOCH(CN) is :
- A

- B

- C

- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
We need the bond-line formula of .
-
First, interpret the condensed formula: This means one central carbon atom is attached to:
- one group,
- one atom,
- two groups.
-
So the expanded structure is: or equivalently,
-
Now identify what this looks like in bond-line form:
- The central carbon is a carbon with four single bonds.
- It is bonded to , to , and to two nitrile groups .
- Thus the correct skeletal drawing must show a central carbon connected to two groups and one .
-
Among the given options, the one corresponding to this arrangement is Option D.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
