Question

Draw the structure for the ring compounds with formulas C6H12 and C6H6

Answer 1

The first compound C6H12 is cyclohexane and the other compound C6H6 is benzene. They are both aromatic compounds. Cyclohexane does not have double bonds in its ring while benzene has three double bonds in its ring. This is why the formula for cyclohexane contains 12 carbon atoms while benzene only has 6.
