Yes, because all the valencies of carbon atoms are satisfied by sigma bonding and cycloakane does not undergo the addition reactions.

However many chemists would say that only alkanes are fully saturated and these have no ring structure and a general formula of CnH2n+2

How does the name of a hydrocarbon tell you whether of not it is saturated?

Alkanes are saturated, so if the hydrocarbon has -ane at the end of it, it is saturated.


Is hex-1-ene saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon?

Methylbenzene (toluene) is a cyclic hydrocarbon based on the benzene ring (C6H6) with a methyl group (CH3) replacing one of the hydrogens to give C7H8. The benzene ring itself is a rather special kind of hydrocarbon, but is considered to be unsaturated - Therefore, toluene is unsaturated. The saturated equivalent of benzene is cyclohexane (C6H12). The saturated equivalent of toluene is methylcyclohexane, C7H14.
