Answer:

Each branch point represents a CH moiety

Explanation:

  • Organic molecules in simplified form are drawn in skeleton formula.
  • In skeleton formula, only some lines are shown in zig zag manner. Intersection point between two lines represents \(CH_{2}\) moiety and each terminal end of a line represents \(CH_{3}\) moiety.
  • A branch is shown by a line too. The branch point represents a CH moiety and terminal end of branch represents a \(CH_{3}\) moiety.
  • For an example, consider an organic molecule 2-methyl propane.
  • Simplified structure is shown below.
