Q. 1.4
interpreting a line-Bond Structure
Carvone, a compound responsible for the odor of spearmint, has the following structure. Tell how many hydrogens are bonded to each carbon, and give the molecular formula of carvone.
S t r a t e g y
The end of a line represents a carbon atom with 3 hydrogens, CH_3; a two-way intersection is a carbon atom with 2 hydrogens, CH_2; a three-way intersection is a carbon atom with 1 hydrogen, CH; and a four-way intersection is a carbon atom with no attached hydrogens
