Question

Write the name and structure of a saturated compound in which the carbon atoms are arranged in ring

Answer 1

There maybe a lot of such compounds, the minimum no. of carbon atoms they would contain is 3 (since, in mathematics, the same rule is applied in case of polygons, it should have atleast 3 vertices to form a closed structure)

The general formula of cycloalkanes is CnH2n.

Following are the examples u were searching for:

Cyclopropane (3 carbon ring)


Cyclohexane (6 carbon ring)


Cycloheptane (7carbon ring)


Hope it helps..

All the best..
