Question

puckered rings from 12th std chemistry.

Answer 1

A puckered ring is one in which is bent in figure not flat. For example look at cyclohexane. Because carbon forms tetrahedral shaped molecules the bonds have an equal spacing between them and when they connect to form a ring it looks like molecules are poking upwards and downwards - you could say zig zag. If you look at a benzene ring this is a Linear Ring because of the alternating electrons and this molecule is completely flat.

To understand it better you could try making cyclohexane with molymods or look on google images for pictures of puckered rings or linear benzene rings. = ]

Answer 2

A benzene rig (C6H6) is flat, with a bond angle of 120 degrees. A cyclohexane ring (C6H12) is not planar, because the C atoms are trying to obtain a bond angle of 109.5, and they can do this if the ring goes up and down - ie puckered.

Answer 3

imagine you have a six membered ring, a cyclohexane, or if its easier, six poles attached at each end in a ring. A puckered ring is when the ring bends, and two opposite ends bend upwards, forming a kindof boat structure. rings can also be in a chair type of shape, with one end pointing upward, and the opposite end facing downwards, making a kindof lounge chair shape.

Answer 4

in case of colloidal sulphur puckered ring is formed due to heating it is formed when theres sort of attraction between the atoms of same kind n they form a ring!!!!!!!!!
