Cyclohexane 3D Molecular Model — CAS 110-82-7

Cyclohexane (C6H12, CAS 110-82-7) — a free educational 3D molecular model for teachers and students, by MolGod.org. Each atom is labelled with its own engraved element symbol: no colour chart needed.

At its heart, Cyclohexane is built around one 6-membered ring. The model shows 18 bonds: all of them single. Counting task: 6 C + 12 H gives 18 engraved spheres; can the class rebuild the formula C6H12 from the model alone? Use it when you teach cycloalkanes (saturated carbon rings) and tetrahedral (sp3) carbon. It has no hydrogen-bond donors or acceptors (computed), a useful contrast with alcohols and amines when you discuss intermolecular forces. Every carbon atom is sp3-hybridised: a chance to look for tetrahedral bond angles.

MolGod.org builds and releases these models at no cost for chemistry teaching. Teachers: hand out printed copies and ask students to rebuild the structural formula from the model.

A ball-and-stick model of Cyclohexane with each element symbol recessed into its atom sphere, generated by MolGod.org from a PubChem-computed 3D conformer (not an experimental crystal structure); atomic coordinates and connectivity are unchanged. STL mesh: 188,176 triangles, closed (watertight) single solid. Coordinates in ångström (STL stores no unit) — scale the model deliberately in your slicer.

Names in other languages: Cyclohexan (de); cicloesano (it); cyclohexaan (nl); cykloheksan (pl); 环己烷 (zh).
