Question

Write the name and structure of a saturated compound in which the carbon atoms are arranged in a ring ,Give the number of single bond present in this compound?

Answer 1

Name :- Cyclo Hexane

Structure :- In the attachment

Number of single bond = 18

Answer 2

Explanation:

A compound which contains only single bonds is known as a saturated compound.

For example, alkanes are saturated compounds.

Whereas when saturated compounds form a ring then they are known as cyclo compounds.

For example, cyclopentane, cyclo hexane, cyclo heptane are all saturated compounds in which the carbon atoms are arranged in a ring.

Thus, cyclopentane has a ring structure in which all atoms are attached through a single bond.

There are in total 15 single bonds present in a cyclopentane.
