An acyclic organic molecule is an open chain compound, for example alkanes and acyclic aliphatic compounds. A cyclic organic molecule is a molecule in which a series of atoms connect to form a loop or ring.
Because atoms are free to rotate freely around a single bond.
There are two structural isomers approved by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) 1.) n-butane (normal butane) is a straight chain 2.) iso-butane (or methyl-propane) is a chain of three with one carbon attached to the middle of the chain
Yes, both. Ring structures are called cyclic compounds and can be aromatic or aliphatic, there are a wide variety of cyclic compounds that can be made/found, such as furan and pyridine (both heterocycles). Functional groups such as OH can also be attached to a cyclic ring. "Chains" are aliphatic and are termed acyclic
At least 22 if you include cyclic compounds (cyclopentane, cyclobutane and cyclopropane) norborane, etc.

It is not possible to draw a structural formula in the Answers text editor.
No, it is a non-cyclic, saturated alkane called hexane of which 5 different isomers exsist
The chemical name of this compound is hexene if it is acyclic. In the instance if it is cyclic, the name is cyclohexane.
They can be open chain "acyclic/aliphatic" or closed chain "ring/cyclic" (carbon chains). Openhain is again of different types, saturated ie.only single bonds or unsturated ie.double or thriple bonds. Cyclic hydrocarbons can be monocyclic or polycyclic
Because atoms are free to rotate freely around a single bond.
Naphthenic acids are a complex mixture of cyclic or acyclic aliphatic organic compounds characterized by a carboxyl reactive group. There is no general method

you are a noob
