An expanded structural formula shows all the atoms of the molecule and all the bonds between the atoms in the molecule.
Draw the expanded structural formula for 1,3-dichlorocyclopentane.
Draw the structure by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds. Include all hydrogen atoms.
We can't draw structures on this forum.
This site has several drawings. Perhaps one of them will help you.
To draw the expanded structural formula for 1,3-dichlorocyclopentane, follow these step-by-step instructions:
Step 1: Start by drawing a pentagon shape to represent the cyclopentane ring. Place one chlorine atom (Cl) on the first carbon (C) atom of the ring.

C-C-C-C-C
|
Step 2: Connect the remaining carbon atoms in the cyclopentane ring with single bonds, keeping the ring shape intact.

C-C-C-C-C

Step 3: Place a second chlorine atom (Cl) on the third carbon (C) atom of the cyclopentane ring.

Step 4: Add hydrogen (H) atoms to each carbon (C) atom of the cyclopentane ring.
H Cl

H-C-C-C-C-H

Step 5: Finally, add hydrogen (H) atoms to the remaining carbon (C) atoms attached to the chlorine (Cl) atoms.

This is the expanded structural formula for 1,3-dichlorocyclopentane.
To draw the expanded structural formula for 1,3-dichlorocyclopentane, follow these steps:
1. Start by drawing a pentagon-shaped ring representing the cyclopentane molecule. Draw five interconnecting lines to form the pentagon shape.

C - C - C

H H
```
2. Next, add the chlorine atoms (Cl) to the carbon atoms at positions 1 and 3. Place one chlorine atom on the top carbon atom (position 1) and one chlorine atom on the bottom carbon atom (position 3).
```
H H
\ |
Cl - C - Cl
/ |
H H
```
3. Now, add the hydrogen (H) atoms to complete the structure. Each carbon atom should have four bonds, and since the chlorine atoms and one bond for each carbon are already drawn, add the remaining hydrogen atoms to complete each carbon atom's four bonds.
```

This is the expanded structural formula for 1,3-dichlorocyclopentane, where the carbon atoms are represented by C, the hydrogen atoms by H, and the chlorine atoms by Cl.
