Cyclohexane

/ˌsaɪkloʊˈhɛkseɪn/ noun

Definition

A colorless liquid hydrocarbon with six carbon atoms arranged in a ring, commonly used as a solvent and in chemical manufacturing.

Etymology

From cyclo- (ring) + hex- (six) + -ane (saturated hydrocarbon suffix). Systematically named in 19th-century organic chemistry as the ring form of the six-carbon alkane.

Kelly Says

Cyclohexane naturally exists in a 'chair' shape—not flat—because atoms repel each other, and this three-dimensional twist makes it one of the most stable six-membered rings, which is why nature and industry both love it.
