What is the molecular formula of the structure below?
1 answer:
Answer:
C₆H₆
Explanation:
Each border of the figure represents 1 atom of carbon. We have 6 borders = 6 atoms of carbon.
Each atom of carbon form 4 bonds. All the carbons are doing a double bond and a single bond with other carbons. That means are bonded 3 times. The other bond (That is not represented in the figure. See the image) comes from hydrogens. As we have 6 carbons that are bonded each 1 with one hydrogen. There are six hydrogens and the molecular formula is:
<h3>C₆H₆</h3>This structure is: Benzene
