Which one is more reactive
« on: September 06, 2005, 12:01:15 PM »
Hexane and Cyclohexane.

Which one is more reactive? Is it because of the size of the electron cloud?
so...hexane>cyclohexane???

Please help me~~

It would be incorrect to compare the two of them on basis of reactivity.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

More reactive in what kind of reaction? oxidation, reduction, or substitution?

are you referring to the energetics (PE diagram)?  "Stabiility" (find the heat of combustion)?
