Step-by-step explanation:

Cyclohexane ends with an -ane, which means that we have an alkane. An alkane consists of carbons and hydrogens with only single bonds. Hex means six, so there are six carbons. Cyclo means we have a ring, which is the six carbons each with two hydrogens, all single bonds.

Each carbon atom can form bonds with two hydrogens because carbon can form four bonds, which are from the two carbons and two hydrogens.
