Question

Two organic compounds $A$ and $B$ have the same molecular formula $C _6 H _{12}$. Write the names and structural formulae:
a. If A is a cyclic compound.
b. If $B$ is an open chain compound.
c. Which compound contains single bonds as well as a double bond?
d. Which compound contains only single bonds?

✓

Answer

If A is a cyclic compound, then $C _6 H _{12}$ is the molecular formula of the compound named cyclohexane.

If B is an open chain compound, then $C _6 H _{12}$ is the molecular formula of the compound named hexene.

Hexene (B) is an unsaturated hydrocarbon comprising both single-bonded and double-bonded carbon atoms.
Cyclohexane is an alkane which contains only single-bonded carbon atoms.
