Solution

The condensed formula for the compound 6-methyl-3-heptene is C8H16. Here's how you get it:

  1. "Heptene" indicates a seven-carbon chain with a double bond. The "3" in "3-heptene" tells you that the double bond starts at the third carbon. So, the base structure is CH2=CH-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3.

  2. "6-methyl" tells you that there's a methyl group (CH3) attached to the sixth carbon in the chain. So, you add that to the structure: CH2=CH-CH2-CH2-CH(CH3)-CH2-CH3.

  3. To write the condensed formula, you group the atoms together: C8H16.
