six-membered ring
Cyclohexane's basic shape
A six-membered ring is a cyclic molecular structure containing six atoms in its ring, most commonly carbon atoms.
Benzene is the archetypal example, with its ring of six carbons.
The term appears throughout organic chemistry and biochemistry: Glucose exists primarily as a six-membered ring in solution.
