Cycloalkanes (also called naphthalene , but distinct from naphthalene ) are types of hydrocarbon compounds that have one or more rings of carbon atoms in the C hemical Structure of their molecules .Alkanes are types of organic hydrocarbon compounds that have only single c hemical bonds in their chemical structure. Cycloalkanes consist of only carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atoms and are saturated because there are no multiple C-C bonds to hydrogenate (add more hydrogen to). A general chemical formula for cycloalkanes would be C n H 2(n+1-g) where n = number of C atoms and g = number of rings in the molecule. Cycloalkanes with a single ring are named analogously to their normal alkane counterpart of the same carbon count: cyclopropane , cyclobutane , cyclopentane , cyclohexane , etc. The larger cycloalkanes, with greater than 20 carbon atoms are typically called cycloparaffins.
