Answer:
Cyclic hydrocarbons is a category of hydrocarbons that are in the form of form closed chains. They are also called "Alicyclic or ring" hydrocarbons.
No. It is not necessary to have only Oxygen and H to have a closed ring structure. Elements like Nitrogen work just fine.
Why? Because the thing you need to form a cyclic hydrocarbon is the ability of that element to form a minimum of 2 covalent bonds.
