This is my latest animation of a six-member
carbon ring.
http://users.accesscomm.ca/john/Hexane.GIF

The last one had adjacent atoms with the
same precession (spinning discs precess and
yet remain parallel). It was not right. The electrons can't
transfer while maintaining the same acceleration
unless the edges of adjacent discs are momentarily
following the same path.  This can only happen
when the discs have opposite precession,i.e.
are UPSIDE-DOWN wrt each other.
( http://users.accesscomm.ca/john/Cyclohexane1.GIF to
see INCORRECT version.)

In order to bond, atoms have to be pointing the
opposite way. And what determines the direction of the
atom is the direction of the precession of the disc.

Doesn't have the right geometry. The atoms in cyclohexane do not lie in
a plane.

Doesn't lie in a plane.
Allow me to boot up my AutoCad and give you a different angle.
This is the chair form.
Next post.

Couple quick questions, because the static projection hides things:
In your left pane, you show 4 visible carbons. I'll call the one at top
left 1, the one visible just below it 2, the one behind 2 but obscured
is called 3, the one at bottom right 6, the one visible just above 6 is
4 and the one behind 4 but obscured is called 5.

Questions:
1. It's not obvious from your GIF how 1 bonds to both 2 and 3.
2. It's not obvious why 2 bonds with 4 through the spot at roughly 5
o'clock on 2 (11 o'clock on 4) and not someplace else. Why not at one
of the other spots, like the one at 3 o'clock (9 o'clock)?

Note that conventional quantum mechanics answers both these questions
nicely, and organic chemistry has made use of that for decades.

All bonds are at the points of tetrahedrons. See:
http://users.accesscomm.ca/john/tetra.jpg
Both chair and boat form rings
are to be found within a tetrahedron lattice.

P.S. Would you like me to show you a tetrahedron lattice?
That would take me 5 minutes.

Actually, though, what is interesting, is that the
actual bond-points ARE in the same plane, but the atoms
aren't.

The question's not so much whether your model says carbon atoms *can*
form a tetrahedral lattice, but *why* they do. This is why I pointed
out the rather arbitrary places where you have bonding happening.

QM predicts that single-bonded carbons *should* form a tetrahedral
lattice, and this is one of the strengths of that system.

This gif shows the galaxy orbital pattern:

http://users.accesscomm.ca/john/cubepath.GIF

As you see, it centers on a cube.

Here's a single path:

http://users.accesscomm.ca/john/He.GIF

You see there are two places where the line crosses over
itself? That is where the corners of the cube hit.

Now.........I'm sure QM has just such a straightforward
explanation: go ahead, tell me 'one of the strengths of that system.'

(He won't.)

Sure. See the chapter on hybrid orbitals in any first-year chemistry
textbook. You'll also see there why the bonding pattern (and the angles
between bonds) changes when the bonds are double-bonds or triple-bonds.
See for example, Chemistry, Brown, LeMay & Bursten, Chapter 9.5-9.6
(pages 319-331 in the 8th ed.).

Thanks, I'll do that. I might have one downstairs.

But I want to explain it by discrete, constant-acceleration
pathways.
I achieved the molecular orbital on March 7,
see the gifs below:
http://users.accesscomm.ca/john/IWIN1.GIF
http://users.accesscomm.ca/john/iwin4.GIF
This shows the molecular pathway to be 25% shorter
for each of the participants. ALSO, if you
look closely, each participant must go on
BOTH SIDES of each orbital.
(I know- it necessitated 96 frames instead
of 64- I noticed.)
In the single atom
it is confined to one side. This is a big advantage
for each electron.

But I haven't even considered double and triple bonds,
I admit. Hey! It's an ongoing puzzle. But it's
fun. This weekend I'm going to strap 200 pounds
to the center of the frame I have on bearings on the axle
of the Big Ball (see page) and roll it down a fairly
large hill.
Then I'm going to re-position the 200 pounds 6 inches to one
side of center and do it again.

is the coolest one.
It's too bad the yellow path is partially
blue on the top view (because it overlays the blue
from that angle).
