Question

Line angle drawings are organic chemists’ shorthand for depicting chains of atoms. The ends of the lines are -CH3 groups, while the vertices along the chain are -CH2 groups. For example, the molecule shown below is 2-methyloctane (C9H2O). Is the line angle drawing of C9H2O shown below an isomer or conformer of the line angle drawing shown above? Use your modeling kit to help you answer this question as necessary.
