CYCLOHEZANE

Today I made a very interesting molecule. Cyclohexane C6H12.
Here is a photo of cyclohexane and some facts about it.
1. Classification, cycloalkane.
2. Cyclohexane is used in the industrial production of adipic acid and caprolactam, precursors of nylon.
3. Cyclohexane smells like laundry detergent in which it is sometimes used.
4. Cyclohexane is non-polar.
5. Cyclohexane is produced by the hydrogenation of benzene.
