Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

Alkanes are saturated organic compounds which are made up of C and H atoms. Alkanes have the general formula of CnH2n+2. Alkane contains sp3 hybridized carbon atoms with four sigmas (σ) bonds & every hydrogen atom is connected with one of the carbon atoms. The size of the alkane could be determined by the number of carbon atoms located in it.

Question

Why are benzene rings more stable than alkenes? Use drawings to explain your answer.

Definition Definition Organic compounds that contain at least one double bond between carbon-carbon atoms. The general molecular formula for alkenes with one double bond is C n H 2n .
