Question

Using a partial Lewis dot structure like the one shown above, draw two more possible structures for the radical cation below and circle the missing electron.

Fragmentation of Alkanes loss of e wadol C6H14 radical cation = (M+. The scheme above shows the formation of the hexane radical cation from the neutral hexane molecule by bombarding the molecule with high energy electrons which results in the loss of an electron from the molecule. The species that is missing one electron is called the radical cation. Shown below is a partial Lewis dot structure for the hexane radical cation. Most of the carbon-carbon bonds are depicted with two electrons. The radical cation results from the loss of one electron from a carbon-carbon bond. 1. Circle the carbon-carbon bond that is missing an electron. CH3: CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH3 2. Using a partial Lewis dot structure like the one shown above, draw two more possible structures for the radical cation below and circle the missing electron.
