Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Skeletal Structure

The given skeletal structure is a zigzag line with five vertices, indicating a five-carbon chain.

Step 2: Determine the Number of Carbons

Each vertex in the skeletal structure represents a carbon atom. Therefore, the structure has five carbon atoms in a straight chain.

Step 3: Write the Condensed Structural Formula

The condensed structural formula for a five-carbon straight chain alkane is \( \text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_3\text{CH}_3 \).

Final Answer

The correct condensed structural formula for the given skeletal structure is \( \text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_3\text{CH}_3 \).
