The extraordinary difference in melting points between cyclohexane and cyclohexene is due to the difference in shape. Cyclohexene has an awkward geometry to stack with sp2 hybridized bond angles. This lends to an extreme low melting point for cyclohexene.

What are the chemical tests to distinguish between cyclohexanol and phenol and what reactions are involved?

the difference between cyclohexane and cyclohexene is the difference between an alkane and an alkene. Add bromine water to both samples. cyclohexane will remain orange. cyclohexene will turn the orange solution colourless because bromine adds across the double bonds. Propanol gives effervescence of hydrogen with sodium metal, propanone does not. Propanone and 2-propanol answer iodoform test, 1-propanol does not Benzoic acid and propanoic acid gives effervescence of carbon dioxide with sodium bicarbonate, benzaldehyde and propanoic chloride does not.

What is the product of the reaction between cyclohexane and acidified potassium manganate VII?

The product of the reaction between cyclohexene and hot acidified potassium manganate 7 will be cyclohexan-1,2-diol. Two hydroxy groups will bond at the site of the double bond.

What Difference between reactivity in hexane and cyclohexane?

Not much. Both are alkanes, and alkanes are highly unreactive. The only reaction for alkanes I can think of off the top of my head is free radical halogenation, but both hexane and cyclohexane have secondary carbons, so reactivity is comparable. Of course, cyclohexane has 6 secondary carbons while hexane only has 4, so you can make the argument that cyclohexane is more reactive in this example.

What is the difference between hospitality and service travel in the tourism industry?

What is difference between service and hospitality industries? It is the difference between technical (protocol, procedure) and emotional (intimate connection, empathy). For service, "technical." For hospitality, "emotional." I can write what extraordinary service is, but extraordinary hospitality is harder to come by. It is a process of making people believe "I'm on your side." Does that help describe the difference? I believe all hospitality establishments provide service, but not all services provide hospitality.


What is the equation for the reaction between cyclohexane and sodium hydroxide?

There is no reaction, therefore no equation!!


Why is cyclohexane a nonpolar molecule The electronegativity difference between Carbon and Hydrogen is point 5 so why is it nonpolar?

Since syclohexane is a symmetrical molecule, the sum of the bond dipoles is zero and the molecules is therefore non-polar

Why is benzene not considered a cycloalkene?

First of all a cycloalkene could be many things, such as, cyclopentane, cyclohexane or like. If you mean the difference between cyclohexene and benzene, then there is the double bound, 3 of a kind in a benzene molecule.
