Answer:
Alicyclic hydrocarbons are those compounds which contain ring of 3 or more carbon atoms which resemble aliphatic (acyclic) hydrocarbons in their properties. Like aliphatic hydrocarbons these compounds are also classified into cycloalkanes, cycloalkenes and cycloalkynes. Cyclic hydrocarbon or closed chain hydrocarbons have the closed chains or carbocyclic rings in their molecules. Cyclic hydrocarbons are further classified into alicyclic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons. Examples: Cyclopropane, Cyclobutene, Cyclopentene, etc.,Aromatic hydrocarbons are cyclic hydrocarbons with alternative double bonds in conjugation which contains 4n+2 number of pi-electrons
