Introduction On Skeletal and Kekule Structure
Many people do not understand what I wrote in my blog so I am going to explain everything in a very simple way. Skeletal structure was the image shown in "Thiamine" post or the image just below this paragraph. As organic compounds usually have a lots of Carbon and Hydrogen, they are not drawn out in the skeletal structure because it is too troublesome to do so. However, it is shown out as an edge; one sharp edge shown below represents a Carbon. Each carbon has 4 sticks (valency), if a carbon shown below has only one stick, the remaining three which are invisible are actually hydrogen.
The 3D model shown below is a representation of the molecular arrangment for the image above. The black sphere represent Carbon. The white sphere represent Hydrogen. The yellow sphere represent Fluoride at the front and the green colour represent Chloride at the back.
This compound somehow look like a Pentane so its IUPAC name is 2-chloro-2-fluoropentane because the Chloride and the Fluoride are located at the second carbon of the compound; it is not at the forth Carbon because we always take the nearest Carbon to represent.
The skeletal structure of Benzene is shown below. Each carbon has only three stick so it means the is one more stick of Hydrogen attachs to each Carbon.
Now, I am going to introduce to you Kekule structure. The Kekule structure of Bezene is shown below.
Today, you have learned what is Skeletal Structure, Kekule Structure and a little on IUPAC name.
