Cyclohexene

Cyclohexene (C₆H₁₀) is a colorless liquid hydrocarbon with a sharp odor. As a cycloalkene, its six-carbon ring contains one double bond, which is the center of its reactivity. Unlike the stable "chair" conformation of cyclohexane, cyclohexene adopts a less stable "half-chair" shape. It serves as a crucial intermediate in industrial synthesis. For instance, it is used to produce adipic acid, a key monomer for making nylon. It is also a precursor for cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, which have applications in producing pharmaceuticals and insecticides.

It will make the broken part even stronger.I decided to go with the ball-and-stick type, as it is easiest to color, is rigid, and looks awesome.The model represents the major resonance contributor.I oriented the model for optimal strength/waste/time compromise,
