kekule structure?

[Erica Li 1C]

The book mentioned something about a Kekule structure but I didn't really understand what that was/the significance of it. Could someone explain it to me?

Kekule structures seem to be Lewis structures but without lone pairs or formal charge indicated on them.

Will we be tested on Kekule structures?

Hello!

What i know is that the kekule structure of benzene (C6H6) is the one where the carbons form a hexagon ring and there are orienting double and single bonds. This model has however, been disproven experimentally, which is why a better representation of the benzene compound is the one with the 6 carbons in a hexagon, but with a ring of delocalized electrons.

Hope this helps :)
