**Question:** Which of the following molecules would be expected to have the highest boiling point? **Options:** 1. Cyclopropane (C₃H₆) 2. Cyclobutane (C₄H₈) 3. Cyclopentane (C₅H₁₀) 4. Cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂) **Diagram Descriptions:** 1. **Cyclopropane:** A triangular structure where each vertex represents a carbon atom. Each carbon (C) is bonded to two hydrogen (H) atoms, forming CH₂ units. 2. **Cyclobutane:** A square structure with four vertices, each representing a carbon atom. Each carbon atom is bonded to two hydrogen atoms, forming CH₂ units. 3. **Cyclopentane:** A pentagonal structure with five vertices, each representing a carbon atom. Each carbon is bonded to two hydrogen atoms, forming CH₂ units. 4. **Cyclohexane:** A hexagonal structure with six vertices, each representing a carbon atom. Each carbon is bonded to two hydrogen atoms, forming CH₂ units. **Answer Options:** - ( ) Cyclopropane - ( ) Cyclobutane - ( ) Cyclopentane - (X) Cyclohexane The correct answer is **Cyclohexane**.
