the formula of hexane is C6H14 but in cyclic hexane its formula is C6H12. why?
plz plz tell me in simple words not the bookish language or from Google , because am unable to get that concept.

MAKE me BRAINLIEST ANSWER please.
Because of degree unsaturation
Explanation:
A useful way of characterizing organic formulae is by their so-called degree of unsaturation . Alkanes have the MAXIMUM number of C−H bonds, and are said to be saturated. Alkane thus have general formula CnH2n+2 . Each TWO HYDROGENS LESS than this formula corresponds to ONE degree of unsaturation .
And so we got ethane, C2H6 , i.e. SATURATED….
And we got ethylene, C2H4 , i.e. ONE DEGREE of unsaturation.
And we got acetylene, C2H2 , i.e. TWO DEGREES of unsaturation.
Each degree of unsaturation corresponds to a double bond, OR A RING JUNCTION. And thus cyclohexane, C6H12 , clearly has the one degree of unsaturation, i.e. the ring junction
