Question

write the name of the structure of the saturated compound in which the carbon atom are arranged in the ring give the number of the single bond present in this compound​

Answer 1

In organic chemistry, a saturated compound is one which has all single bonds in between the carbon-carbon atoms. Most of the saturated hydrocarbons are alkanes. So, the structures in which the carbon atoms are arranged in a ring are called as cycloalkanes, with a general formula of CnH₂n

Answer 2

In organic chemistry, a saturated compound is one which has all single bonds in between the carbon-carbon atoms. Most of the saturated hydrocarbons are alkanes. So, the structures in which the carbon atoms are arranged in a ring are called as cycloalkanes, with a general formula of CnH₂n.

There are many saturated cycloalkanes. The cycloalkane with the least number of carbon atoms is - Cyclopropane with 3 carbon atoms. Each carbon-carbon bond is a single bond. So, there will be 3 C-C bonds. Each carbon is attached to 3 hydrogen atoms. So, there will a total of 3 x 3 C-H bonds = 9 C-H bonds. So, a total of 12 single bonds in a cyclopropane structure.

Similarly, the number of single bonds can be calculated in other saturated cycloalkanes like cyclobutane, cyclopentane, etc.
