Question

question 1 (1 point)
the name of the compound shown below is______.

a) hexane
b) cyclohexene
c) hexene
d) cyclohexane
e) cyclohexyne

Explanation:

• Hexane: It is an acyclic (non - cyclic) alkane with the formula \(C_6H_{14}\). The given structure is cyclic, so this option is incorrect.
• Cyclohexene: It is a cyclic alkene (has a double bond in the ring). The given structure has only single bonds (as it is a hexagon without any double - bond lines), so this option is incorrect.
• Hexene: It is an acyclic alkene. The given structure is cyclic, so this option is incorrect.
• Cyclohexane: It is a cyclic alkane (\(C_6H_{12}\)) with a six - membered ring and all single bonds, which matches the given structure.
• Cyclohexyne: It would be a cyclic alkyne (has a triple bond in the ring). The given structure has only single bonds, so this option is incorrect.

Answer:

d) cyclohexane
