How do the structures of cyclohexane and benzene differ?
Benzene is a flat aromatic molecule and cyclohexane is fully saturated and give 'boat' or 'chair' conformations.

The structure of cyclohexane consists of a six-membered ring with alternating single bonds between carbon atoms, resulting in a planar, hexagonal shape. Benzene, on the other hand, has a six-membered ring with delocalized pi-electrons, forming a resonance structure known as an aromatic ring. This results in benzene having a planar, hexagonal shape with alternating single and double bonds between carbon atoms.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- Why are equatorial bonds perfectly parallel to ring bonds?
- Does the cis isomer or the trans isomer of 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane have one methyl group in an equatorial position and the other in an axial position?
- Why is glucose soluble in water but cyclohexane is not?
- What are the conformers of ethane and methylcyclohexane?
- How can I draw trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane in its two chair conformations, and determine whether the two chairs are identical, conformational enantiomers, or conformational diastereomers? How can I do the same for the cis isomer?
