Experiment topic: Chemistry of Aliphatic Carbons Solubility in water. Prepare two vials. Add 3-5 drops of cyclohexane in 1 mL of water in one vial. To the other vial, add the same number of drops of cyclohexene in 1 mL of water. Shake or mix with a stirring rod. Record your observations. Take note of the density of the compounds relative to water. Results: Cyclohexene: insoluble Cyclohexane: insoluble

Question: can someone please explain why both are insoluble in water? thanks!
