Draw the lewis dot structure for benzene

See attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, Lewis' structures are basic illustrations of the outer valence shell electrons of a particular molecule. It is employed to understand how the electrons are assembled around the atom. Electrons are represented as "dots" and bonds as lines connecting the two atoms through the aforesaid dots.

In such a way, since carbon has four valance electrons it needs four bonds to accomplish the octet and hydrogen one, the Lewis' dot structure for benzene is shown on the attached picture.

Best regards.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
