- Cycloalkane - Wikipedia
In other words, a cycloalkane consists only of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a structure containing a single ring (possibly with side chains), and all of the carbon-carbon bonds are single

Understanding cycloalkanes and their properties are crucial in that many of the biological processes that occur in most living things have cycloalkane-like structures
- Hydrocarbon - Cycloalkanes, Structure, Properties | Britannica
With a general formula of C n H 2n (n is an integer greater than 2), they have two fewer hydrogen atoms than an alkane with the same number of carbon atoms Cyclopropane (C 3 H 6) is the smallest cycloalkane, whereas cyclohexane (C 6 H 12) is the most studied, best understood, and most important
- Cycloalkanes | Structure, Properties Examples
Understanding the definition of cycloalkanes, cycloalkane formula, stability of cycloalkanes, and uses of cycloalkanes is essential for anyone studying organic chemistry
- 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)
- Cycloalkane - chemeurope. com
The strain energy of a cycloalkane is the theoretical increase in energy caused by the compound's geometry, and is calculated by comparing the experimental standard enthalpy change of combustion of the cycloalkane with the value calculated using average bond energies

If the number of carbons in the ring is greater than or equal to the number of carbons in the longest chain, the compound is named as a cycloalkane If it is less than the number of carbons in the longest chain, the compound is named as an alkane with a cycloalkyl substituent
- 4. 1: Naming Cycloalkanes - Chemistry LibreTexts
If there is an alkyl straight chain that has a greater number of carbons than the cycloalkane, then the alkyl chain must be used as the primary parent chain Cycloalkane acting as a substituent to an alkyl chain has an ending "-yl" and, therefore, must be named as a cycloalkyl
