Answer:
In glucose molecule (C₆H₁₂O₆) , five - OH group are present and in Sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) , eight - OH groups are present. Thus, glucose and sucrose undergo extensive H-bonding with water. So these compounds are readily soluble in water .
But, Benzene (C₆H₆) and Cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂) do not contain −OH groups. So they can't make hydrogen bonds with water therefore , they are insoluble in water .
