Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The structure shown is hexagonal with six carbon atoms at each vertex, and one carbon atom in the center. Each carbon atom forms a single bond with another carbon atom, leaving one bond available to form with a hydrogen atom. Therefore, there are seven carbon-hydrogen bonds, which means there are seven hydrogen atoms needed to complete the structure.
