a) Indole STRUCTURE GIVEN IN QUESTION
Interpretation:
The structure of indole is given. Its skeletal structure is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
In skeletal structures the carbon atoms are not usually shown. Instead a carbon is assumed to be at each intersection of two lines and at the end of each line. The hydrogen atoms bonded to carbons are also not shown. The correct number of hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom is assigned keeping in mind that carbon has a valence of 4. The end of a line represents a carbon atom with three hydrogen atoms, CH3; a two-way intersection is a carbon atom with two hydrogen atoms, CH2; a three way intersection is a carbon with one hydrogen, CH; a four way intersection is a carbon with no attached hydrogen. Atoms other than carbon and hydrogen are shown. Nitrogen is trivalent and it can form one double bond and a single bond or three single bonds.

Answer to Problem 42AP
The skeletal structure of indole is
Explanation of Solution
The molecular formula of indole is C8H7N. It has bicyclic structure consisting of a six membered benzene ring fused to a five membered pyrrole ring.

Answer to Problem 42AP
The skeletal structure of 1,3- pentadiene is
Explanation of Solution
The molecular formula of 1,3- pentadiene is C5H8. It has two double bonds, one between C1-C2 and another between C3-C4. In skeletal structures the carbon atoms are not usually shown.
