- 3. 4: Cycloalkanes - Chemistry LibreTexts
Cycloalkanes are cyclic hydrocarbons, meaning that the carbons of the molecule are arranged in the form of a ring Cycloalkanes are also saturated, meaning that all of the carbons atoms that make up the ring are single bonded to other atoms (no double or triple bonds)
- Cycloalkane: Definition, Examples, Properties, Preparation, and 7 . . .
Cycloalkanes are a class of hydrocarbons defined by their cyclic structure, wherein the carbon atoms within the molecule are arranged in the shape of a closed ring
- What are Cycloalkanes? - BYJUS
What is a Cycloalkane in chemistry? In organic chemistry, the monocyclic saturated hydrocarbons are cycloalkanes (also called naphthenes, but different from naphthalene)
- Hydrocarbon - Cycloalkanes, Structure, Properties | Britannica
Countless organic compounds are known in which a sequence of carbon atoms, rather than being connected in a chain, closes to form a ring Saturated hydrocarbons that contain one ring are referred to as cycloalkanes
- Cycloalkanes | Structure, Properties Examples
Cycloalkanes are a fascinating part of hydrocarbons that play significant roles in organic chemistry In these compounds, carbon atoms are arranged in a ring structure, which makes them distinct from their open-chain alkane counterparts
- Stability of Cycloalkanes - Chemistry Steps
Cycloalkanes are less stable than alkanes due to ring strain, which is a combination of angle strain and torsional strain
- Cycloalkanes - Types, Classification, Applications Examples
Fuel: Cycloalkanes are components of various fuels, including gasoline, where they contribute to the overall energy content Chemical Intermediates: Cycloalkanes serve as intermediates in the synthesis of other organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals

Keep in mind, however, that each corner of the geometric figure represents a carbon atom plus as many hydrogen atoms as needed to give each carbon atom four bonds Some cyclic compounds have substituent groups attached Example 6 5 1 6 5 1 interprets the name of a cycloalkane with a single substituent group
