A Short Note on Alkanes & Cycloalkanes

Sudha M

Hydrocarbons are alkanes or cycloalkanes, depending on whether the carbon atoms of the molecule are arranged only in chains or also in rings.

Organic compounds with only C-C and C-H single (s) bonds are called alkanes, with general formula showing: CnH(2n+2).

If the C-C bonding occurs in ring shape, then they are termed as cycloalkanes (CnH2n).

Hydrocarbons do not contain functional groups, they constitute the framework on which functional groups are located in other classes of compounds, which is an initiator for studying and naming organic compounds.
