Answer:

The compound will be cyclohexane, the structure is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us calculate the double bond equivalent of the given molecule, which will give us the number of double bonds or rings in the molecule.

DBE = C - (H/2) + (N/2) +1

C = 6

H = 12

N = 0

DBE = 6-6+1 = 1

So there must be a double bond or a ring

As mentioned there is not double bond then there must be a ring with no branching.

So the structure will be as shown in figure.
