Mothballs are composed of naphthalene, C₁₀H₈, a molecule that consists of two six-membered rings of carbon fused along an edge, as shown in this incomplete Lewis structure:

(b) Do you expect the C—C bond lengths in the molecule to be similar to those of C—C single bonds, C ═ C double bonds, or intermediate between C—C single and C ═ C double bonds?

Hi everyone, so I asked. The following statements is true For the bond length infinite three. If you look at a typical band lint for Cinnabon, This is 154 km for double bond, This is 133 km. If you look at the length of the single bonds, We see that they live between 133 and 154. This is going to be C. The carbon carbon bond length of three are similar to the intermediate between the carbon, carbon. Single bonds in the carbon carbon double bonds, and this is because it exhibits a resonance hybrid. So the bonds are average, they're gonna be somewhere in between. Thanks for watching my video and I hope it was up for
