Solution
The correct option is AC6H10 and C6H6 In the compound cyclohexene, the word ‘cyclo’ indicates that it is a cyclic compound, ‘hex’ indicates that it has six carbon atoms and ‘ene’ indicates that it has a double bond between any two adjacent carbon atoms. Structure of cyclohexene and benzene are given below: Therefore, the molecular formula of cyclohexene is C6H10 and the molecular formula of benzene is C6H6.
