Part (b) Step 1: Given information 

We need to find the condensed structural formula for$hexane$

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

We know that

The condensed structural formula uses the symbol of each element and the bond between them.

Therefore, The condensed structural formula of the given compound is,

$C{H}_3-C{H}_2-C{H}_2-C{H}_2-C{H}_2-C{H}_3$

Part (c) Step 1: Given information 

We need to find the condensed structural formula for$hep\tan e$

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation 

We know that

The condensed structural formula uses the symbol of each element and the bond between them.

Therefore, The condensed structural formula of the given compound is,

${\mathrm{CH}}_3-{\mathrm{CH}}_2-{\mathrm{CH}}_2-{\mathrm{CH}}_2-{\mathrm{CH}}_2-{\mathrm{CH}}_2-{\mathrm{CH}}_3$

Part (d) Step 1: Given information 

We need to find the condensed structural formula for$cyclopen\tan e$

Part (d) Step 2: Explanation
