NEETChemistryBiomolecules
Give the reason why Glucose or Sucrose are soluble in water but Cyclohexane or Benzene (simple six-membered ring compounds) are insoluble in water
Options
- AGlucose and sucrose form extensive hydrogen bonding with water molecules due to the presence of multiple (-OH)
- BCyclohexane and benzene have nonpolar bonds that repel water molecules.
- CGlucose and sucrose have high molecular weights.
- DCyclohexane and benzene have polar bonds that attract water molecules.
Correct answer
A. Glucose and sucrose form extensive hydrogen bonding with water molecules due to the presence of multiple (-OH)
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) Glucose and sucrose form extensive hydrogen bonding with water molecules due to the presence of multiple (-OH) groups whereas cyclohexene or benzene don't have (-OH) groups.
