Question

How do you convert a Kekule structure from Lewis Diagram form to condensed and Line-angle structure?

Answer 1

Kekule's structure of benzene:

• According to Kekule, the six carbon atoms of Benzene from a hexagonal ring by forming alternate single bonds and double bonds.
• For the Kekule structure, all that is all hydrogen-bonded is also shown in the structure.
• Given below is the Kekule's structure of Benzene:

Lewi's structure:

• Lewis structure, also known as the electron dot structure for the atom, is the simplest way to find out how the electrons are being exchanged in a covalent molecule.
• We know that, between the atoms, each bond is made up of two electrons.
• So the Kekule's structure is made from the Lews dot structure:

A condensed form of structure:-

• Condensed formula or condensed structure is a type of system of writing the organic structure.
• These are generally written in a straight line where there is no presence of any horizontal or vertical bonds.
• The condensed structure of Benzene is ${\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_6$, as there are 6 carbon atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms in Benzene.

Line-angle structure:-

• The line structure is derived from a simplified structure of the elements H and C that shows no atoms and also the bonds between Carbon atoms are seen as lines.
• On each vertice and end of the line structure, it represents the carbon atoms.
• And the valencies that are unfilled are supposed to be filled by H atoms.
