Answer 1

It can take on either of the two structures shown below to generate a cyclic compound with a double bond or a straight chain compound with a triple bond, depending on the conditions.

Answer 2

LEWIS STRUCTURE:

• Lewis structure is the way to represent the electrons of the atoms bonded in a compound.
• Electrons are shown either in the form of dots or a line between the two bonded atoms.
• The structure gives information about the nature of the bond and the position of the different elements.
• Electron bond pairs and lone pairs are also depicted by the lewis dot structure.
• The given compound is cellulose with a six-membered ring.
• The Lewis structure is:
