What will be the formula and electron dot structure of cyclohexane? Why diamond and graphite are so different from each other, although both of them are made-up of carbon atoms only?
The formula of cyclohexane is C6H12. The structure is shown below:
Electron dot structure of cyclohexane
Even though diamond and graphite are made up of carbon atoms only, the molecular structure of diamond is different from that of graphite. Diamond has a 3D structure, whereas the structure of graphite consists of layers of carbon stacked above one another.
