Question:

A. Draw a skeletal structure for cyclohexane.

B. Convert each skeletal structure to a complete structure with all {eq}C's{/eq}, {eq}H's{/eq}, and lone pairs drawn in.

Skeletal Structure of Organic Compounds

In drawing the skeletal structure of a compound, four rules must be noted:

1) Each vertex and endpoint corresponds to a carbon atom.

2) Each line corresponds to a bond.

3) All missing bonds are attributed to hydrogen bonds.

4) All non-carbon and non-hydrogen atoms and the hydrogen atoms directly bonded to them must by explicitly drawn.
