Interpretation: The difference between Hexane, 1-Hexene, Cyclohexane, and Benzene is to be explained by using the words- Aliphatic, Aromatic, Saturated, and Unsaturated.
Concept Introduction: Open and closed-chain compounds are Aliphatic whereas compounds that have only closed-chain structure are called Aromatic.
Compounds containing only single covalent bonds between two carbon atoms are Saturated. On the other hand, compounds containing double and triple covalent bonds between two carbon atoms are Unsaturated.
Answer to Problem 32LC
Hexane is a Saturated and Aliphatic molecule.
1-Hexene is an Unsaturated molecule.
Cyclohexane is a Saturated molecule.
Benzene is an Unsaturated and Aromatic compound.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: Hexane, 1-Hexene, Cyclohexane, and Benzene, each have 6 Carbon atoms.
Hexane has a straight chain of Carbons connected by a single bond with Hydrogen attached to the remaining Carbon bonds. No Carbon double bonds make it a Saturated molecule whereas an open-chain compound makes it an Aliphatic molecule.
1-Hexene is an unsaturated molecule as the first two carbons are linked with a double bond.
Cyclohexane has a chain of 6 Carbon atoms forming a cyclic structure where there are no double bonds, so it is a Saturated molecule.
Benzene is an Unsaturated as well as Aromatic molecule in which 6 Carbon atoms are arranged in a circle with double bonds between alternating Carbon pairs.
Hexane is a Saturated and Aliphatic molecule.
1-Hexene is an Unsaturated molecule.
Cyclohexane is a Saturated molecule.
Benzene is an Unsaturated and Aromatic compound.
