Well, B3N3H6 is a cylic molecule similair to benzene, whose formula is C6H6.
So, by similairity, the Lewis structure of B3N3H6 is the same as benzene.

∙ 11y agoToday we'll find that resonance is very important in understanding both the structure and the reactions of aromatic compounds. First, let's take a look at the structural representations which distinguish aromatic compounds from those that aren't aromatic.
The most commonly encountered aromatic compound is benzene. The usual structural representation for benzene is a six carbon ring (represented by a hexagon) which includes three double bonds. Each of the carbons represented by a corner is also bonded to one other atom. In benzene itself, these atoms are hydrogens. The double bonds are separated by single bonds so we recognize the arrangement as involving conjugated double bonds. An alternative symbol uses a circle inside the hexagon to represent the six pi electrons. Each of these symbols has good and bad features. We'll use the three double bond symbol simply because it is also routinely used in the text.
Keep in mind that if the hexagon contains neither the three double bonds nor the circle, the compound is not aromatic. It is simply cyclohexane and there are two hydrogens on each carbon atom. This is easy to mistake when hurrying, so be careful when you are intepreting any structural formulas which include hexagons.
The structure with three double bonds was proposed by Kekule as an attempt to explain how a molecule whose molecular formula was C6H6 could be built out of carbons which make four bonds. The ring and the three double bonds fit the molecular formula, but the structure doesn't explain the chemical behavior of benzene at all well. Each of the double bonds would be expected to show the characteristic behavior of an alkene and undergo addition reactions, but this is not how benzene reacts.
In particular, we would expect a carbon-carbon double bond to react quickly with bromine to make a dibromo compound. This is what alkenes do very readily, and in fact it is a useful test for alkenes in the laboratory. Benzene does not react with bromine unless a very bright light or a strong catalyst is used, and then the reaction is not an addition reaction. We conclude that there is something quite unusual about the double bonds in benzene.
Kekule (thinking about this problem before bonds were understood as pairs of electrons) suggested that there are two forms of benzene which differ in the locations of the double bonds. His idea was that these were in rapid equilibrium, so rapid that there was never a fixed location for the double bond. One could say that an approaching bromine molecule could not "find" a double bond to react with.

What is huckel structure of benzene?
Huckel's rule does not explain the structure of a molecules it simply describes that a molecule is aromatic or not, the kekule's structure for benzene agrees with Huckel's rule.
Name of compound n6h6 in structure symmetrical to BENZENE?
when in orgnic benzene the Carbon is replaced with Nitrogen is called Borozene which is Inorganic Benzene. A Ali Sudais jan Research Scholar Nuclear medicine Inorganic Chemistry
What is the isolation of benzene?
Separation of benzene from a mixture is isolation of benzene.
How do you convert benzene into propyl benzene?
benzene with 2~chloropropane in presence of aluminiumchloride
What is pH of benzene?
Benzene has not a pH.
What is huckel structure of benzene?
Huckel's rule does not explain the structure of a molecules it simply describes that a molecule is aromatic or not, the kekule's structure for benzene agrees with Huckel's rule.
What did Kathleen Lonsdale discover?
The structure of benzene.
Why is aspirin more reactive than benzene?
Benzene has a stable structure. Aspirin has an carboxylic group with delocalized electrons. So aspirin is more reactive than benzene.
What is a benzenoid?
A benzenoid is a compound with an electronic structure analogous to that of benzene.
Benzene ring has three pi-bonds in it but is still quite stable.explain?
Benzene has a property called resonance. Because of this, the three pi-bonds in benzene act as a rather delocalized single pi-structure. So, benzene does not actually have 3 distinct pi-bonds. This pi-structure is stable, which explains why benzene is more stable than it would be if it had 3 pi-bonds.

What is meant by reduction of benzene?
Benzene accepts protons and electrons in it's structure while some other element/molecule is oxidized and donates those protons and electrons to benzene. That is all reduction is; gaining of H + and electrons.
Why does thermocol dissolve in benzene?
Thermocol is another name for polystyrene (PS), which is a type of plastic. Benzene is an industrial solvent, and it's primary use is to make styrene. The chemical structure of benzene, a non-polar organic hydrocarbon solvent, and of PS is such that benzene will dissolve styrene and polystyrene.
How many resonance structure benzene have?
There are 2 resonance structures for benzene.
What is inorganic benzene?
Actually "Borazine" (or sometimes called Bolazole) is often called as inorganic benzene, as it has a hexagonal structure similar to that of benzene. Also it is iso-electronic with benzene. It has the formula, B3N3H6.
Benzene is a cyclic structure containing how many carbons?
six carbon and six hydrogen
What is a bean shaped structure with inner membranes on which chemical reactions take place?
I think it is Benzene
