Two Cyclohexane Molecules

These two molecules of Cyclohexane only bond by London dispersion forces. Because the molecules are non-polar, they can not have any dipole dipole forces.

It started a Revolution

Have you ever wondered what life would be like without nylon? Cyclohexane is what started it all, and changed the world form then on with it's chemical properties. Used as a solvent, it acts as a reagent for the creation on nylon and nylon products. Nylon's uses span widely. From water bottles to rugs. From tires to military supplies. Without Cyclohexane there would not be nylon, and in turn, most of the things we use every day.

Breaking News - Polarity

Cyclohexane is found to be non-polar. More information will be reported as discovered.

Cyclohexane Facts

C6H12
Cyclohexane is a non-polar molecule. C6H12 is a solvent used in the chemical industry. This solvent is also used in the industrial production of adipic acid and caprolactam. Adipic acid and caprolactam are polymers. They are the main ingredients in the further production of nylon, a very important material in the world today.
