Title: What is the lewis dot diagram for C(sub)6H(sub)6?
Post by: LainOfTheWired on February 01, 2005, 10:27:11 PM

I have a couple attempts at what the drawing for C₆H₆ would look like bonded in lewis dot structure, but i'm not exactly sure.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

Its called benzene. Aromatic ring with alternating double bonds.  Very common organic functional group.  If you search you will learn.

It should be in the list of "common names" to the left.

True, but benzene would probably be the most thermodynamic stable isomer. Look everyone I can actually use the word "stable". This time... ;)
