 Alkanes are more stable compare to cycloalkanes. Since cycloalkanes are more strain then they are not  stable. Alkanes are staight chain compounds these are not get strain   so,alkanes are more stable

cycloalkanes are to alkanes but they melting point ,boiling point are different. cycloalkanes are high reactive . alkanes are more stable.
