Glucose or sucrose are soluble in water but cyclohexane and benzene (simple six membered ring compound are insoluble in water. Explain.

Explanation

In glucose `(C_6H_12O_6)` groups are present and in sucrose `(C_12H_22O_11)` , B-OH groups are present , which are polar in nature. They are involved in intermolecular hydrogen bonding with water molecules , so these compound are readily soluble in water. Benzene `(C_6H_6)` and cyclohexane `(C_6H_12)` are hydrocarbons . They do not have any polar group so they cannot make hydrogen bonds with water. Therefore, they are insoluble in water.
