Question

What is the general molecular formula for cycloalkane?

Answer 1

The general formulae of cyclo-alkane is given by :-

CnH2n

For example :- C3H6 , C4H8

Try to write it by showing sharing bond , you will get that formulae .

thanks :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Cycloalkanes with one ring have the general formula CnH2n compared with the general formula CnH(2n + 2) for acyclic alkanes. Cycloalkanes have two fewer hydrogen atoms than alkanes because another carbon–carbon bond is needed to form the ring.
