What is the condensed structural formula for toluene with bromine?

Answer 1

Not sure what you mean by "with bromine", as you could mean bromine is on the methyl group, or on the ring directly. Either way, the condensed structural formula is:

#"C"_6"H"_5"CH"_2"Br"# - if bromine is on the methyl group

#"C"_6"H"_4"CH"_3"Br"# - if bromine is directly on the ring; note that this is the ortho isomer, and the meta and para isomers exist as well.

Their molecular formulas are identical (#"C"_7"H"_7"Br"#), so it wouldn't be productive to use that in this case.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
