True or False: When drawing organic molecules using line-angle formulas, it is always required to show hydrogens bonded to an asymmetric carbon center. Explain your answer.
True. It is necessary to always show hydrogen in an asymmetric carbon center for convenience.
True. It is necessary always to show hydrogen in asymmetric carbon centers to determine whether it is chiral or achiral carbon.
False. It is assumed that carbon is tetravalent, and it is sometimes necessary to show hydrogen when a specific configuration of the molecule is required.
False. It is assumed that carbon is tetravalent and that an asymmetric carbon center will have the same configuration within a molecule.
