How would you Proof that benzene has a cyclic structure?
The catalytic hydrogenation of benzene gives the C6H12 which obeys the formula of Alkenes but do not react with Br2 and KMnO4 solution so it is a cyclic molecule cyclohexane, the formation of cyclohexane proves that benzene also exists in cyclic structure.
Is octane a saturate carbon?
Octane is any hydrocarbon made of 8 carbons, it can be saturated, unsaturated, branched, cyclic, etc.
Is cyclohexane a saturated hydrocarbon?
Yes, because all the valencies of carbon atoms are satisfied by sigma bonding and cycloakane does not undergo the addition reactions. However many chemists would say that only alkanes are fully saturated and these have no ring structure and a general formula of CnH2n+2
Example of an aromatic hydrocarbon?
Benzene, cyclic C6H6
Is straight chain is more viscous than branched chain?
A straight chain hydrocarbon has two carbons that are bonded to only one other carbon (the terminal carbons). A branched chain hydrocarbon has more than two carbons that are bonded to only one other carbon (the terminal carbons at the ends of each branch). A cycloalkane (cyclic hydrocarbon) has no carbons that are bonded to only one carbon - the chain is hooked back to itself.
Why cyclic carbon is named as aliphatic?
Only some cyclic carbon atom rings can properly be called aliphatic: those without any carbon-carbon double bonds or aromatic ring bonds. For example, cyclohexane is aliphatic, but cycolohexene and benzene, which all contain rings of six carbon atoms, are not.

Is styrene considered as an alkene?
No styrene is a cyclic hydrocarbon.
Are cyclic hydrocarbon unsaturated?
Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.

Benzene, cyclic C6H6
What is a cyclic hydrocarbon?
It is a ring formed carbon skeleton. The smallest possible cyclic hydrocarbon is cyclopropane (triangular C3H6) together with cyclobutane both being rather unstable (degration to linear propene and 1-butene). Five and six membered rings are quite common. The most 'famous' cyclic hydrocarbon is the aromatics-group of benzene, which is the cyclic 'honeycomb' formed 1,3,5-cyclohexatriene C6H6 (and derivatives).
What is a characteristic aromatic hydrocarbon?
They are cyclic they have single and double bonds
Is the molecular formula for cyclohexane the same as that of the n-hexane?
No. Ordinary n-hexane is C6H14 and is unsaturated. Cyclohexane is C6H12 as it has 1 unit of unsaturation due to its cyclic structure.
Is hex-1-ene saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon?
Methylbenzene (toluene) is a cyclic hydrocarbon based on the benzene ring (C6H6) with a methyl group (CH3) replacing one of the hydrogens to give C7H8. The benzene ring itself is a rather special kind of hydrocarbon, but is considered to be unsaturated - Therefore, toluene is unsaturated. The saturated equivalent of benzene is cyclohexane (C6H12). The saturated equivalent of toluene is methylcyclohexane, C7H14.
