(a)

Indole

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)

Skeletal structure of Indole

Step by step solution

01

Skeletal structure

In drawing the skeletal structures, the carbon atoms are not shown. The carbon atom is assumed to be at the end of each line. The skeletal structure does not show carbon-hydrogen bonds. The atoms other than carbon and hydrogen are shown.

02

Skeletal structure of indole

The skeletal structure of indole shows the heteroatom nitrogen whereas the hydrogen and carbon atoms are depicted by dots and lines respectively. The skeletal structure of indole is represented as:
