Best Answer

A five sided shape of the hexagon is used to represent and model a molecule of benzene. The hexagon will have alternating double lines (or a single double) to indicate the presence of its characteristic double (sp2) bond.

What is inorganic benzene?

Actually "Borazine" (or sometimes called Bolazole) is often called as inorganic benzene, as it has a hexagonal structure similar to that of benzene. Also it is iso-electronic with benzene. It has the formula, B3N3H6.


Structural formula of phenol?

Not on its own. It is an aromatic group of atoms with the formula C6H5. One of the carbon atoms in it is bonded to the rest of whatever molecule it is in. The phenyl group is in many aromatic compounds

The formula of a compound is written in the simple whole number ration of atoms?

Not necessarily. Often they reflect the chemical structure of the molecule; eg C6H6 for benzene (benzol) rather than CH.


What is the Polysaccharide formula?

They are sometimes represented by the formula Cx(H2O)y where x is usually a large number between 200 and 2500. Also, considering that the repeating units in the polymer backbone are often six-carbon monosaccharides, the general formula can also be represented as (C6H10O5)n where 40≤n≤3000. This is the more common one.

A chemical compound containing three double bonds?

Ethyne, also called acetylene has the formula C2H2 and the structural formula of H-C≡C-H. Ethene has the formula C2H4 and the structural formula of H2C=CH2.


What is the structural formula of c2h302?

C2H3O2 is part of the ethanoic (acetic) acid formula (C2H4O2), minus one hydrogen atom (proton). So you often see C2H3O2 expressed as part of acetate formulae such as in Lead acetate Pb(C2H3O2)2.


What is a fragrant compound?

A fragrant compound is called "ester". It is a class of often fragrant compounds that can be represented by the formula RCOOR' and are usually formed by the reaction between an acid and an alcohol with elimination of water.


What is the structural formula for C10H20?

That sounds like acetylene, a gas often used in welders.A single bond between one hydrogen and the first carbon atom. A triple bond between the two carbon atoms, and a single bond between the second carbon and second hydrogen.H-C≡C-H


What are some pros and cons on benzene?

Pros: Benzene is often used as an intermediate for making many other chemicals. Cons: The American petroleum institute (API) stated in 1948 that "it is generally considered that the only absolutely safe concentration for benzene is zero." Long time benzene exposure can lead to major health defects such as leukemia. Hope this helped ;D ^.^
