Line bond structure of hexane

Step by step solution

01

Line bond structure

The line bond structure is a shorthand structure for drawing molecules in which a two-electron covalent bond is represented by a line between two atoms with their respective chemical symbols.

02

Hexane

Hexane is an organic compound with a molecular formulaC6H14. It consists of six carbon atoms arranged in the form of a chain with the valency of carbon being balanced by hydrogen atoms. Thus, the line bond structure of hexane is represented as:
