Draw the line‑bond structure of oleic acid (cis‑9‑octadecenoic acid), CH 3 ( CH 2 ) 7 CH = CH ( CH 2 ) 7 COOH , at physiological pH. Hydrogen atoms attached to carbon atoms do not need to be drawn.

Answer : The line-bonds structure of oleic acid (cis‑9‑octadecenoic acid) is shown below.

Explanation :

In line-bonds formula, the organic structures of the compound are represented in such a way that covalent bonds are represented by line and frame the structure by zig-zag straight lines which emits all the hydrogen atom.

The terminals of the line and vertex represents carbon atoms whose valences are satisfied by formation of single bonds with H atom.

The given compound is, (cis‑9‑octadecenoic acid)

In this compound, the parent chain is 18 membered and the carboxylic acid functional group is attached to it.

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.
