Step-by-step solution

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Position of carbon and hydrogen atoms in the skeletal structure

The carbon atoms are placed at all the junctions and terminal positions of the straight lines. The hydrogen atoms are placed bonded to each carbon atom such that the tetravalency of all the carbon atoms is satisfied.

Adding lone pairs for the attainment of octet

Along with the shared pair of electrons in the bond, the lone pairs are added to all the heteroatoms to complete their octet.

Addition of carbon-hydrogen

a. First, all the carbon atoms are placed at the junctions, and the bonds' terminals are represented as straight lines. Then, hydrogen atoms are fixed, bonded to carbon atoms such that the tetra valency of the carbon atoms gets satisfied.

b. All the carbon atoms are placed at the junctions and the terminals of the bonds. Hydrogen atoms are placed to satisfy the tetravalency of all carbon atoms.

According to the tetravalency, carbon atoms having a double bond will have fewer hydrogen atoms attached to them.
