Question

Write the structure of cyclohexane.

Answer 1

Hint: Cyclohexane has molecular formulae of ${{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}$ and it has only secondary hydrogen atom. Cyclohexane forms a ring hence there is no $C{{H}_{3}}$ end there are only $C{{H}_{2}}$ ends.

Complete step by step answer:
Cyclohexane is a non-polar, colorless and flammable liquid with a detergent like odor. The easiest way using which we can draw the structure of cyclohexane is by simply drawing a hexagon. And in the hexagon each point depicts a fully saturated carbon atom with hydrogen atoms. When cyclohexane is depicted using a hexagon each carbon atom and each hydrogen atom in the structure appears the same.
Analysis of name of compound- Cyclohexane,
In this hex stands for six carbons it means that there are six carbons in the structure.
The suffix “ane” shows that the compound is saturated which means that there is only a single bond in the structure of the compound which means that the carbon are attached with each other through a single bond. And at last cyclo means there is a ring.
After the analysis of name of compound cyclohexane the structure is:

Note: Cyclohexane rings form several warped conformations to make the bond angles closer to the tetrahedral angles and also reduce the strain energy. Examples of some common conformation made by cyclohexane are the boat form, twist boat form, the chair form, half chair form. All these conformations of cyclohexane are named on the basis of shape that the cyclohexane molecule assumes in them. There is hydrogen- hydrogen interaction in these conformations.
