It is a ring formed carbon skeleton. The smallest possible cyclic hydrocarbon is cyclopropane (triangular C3H6) together with cyclobutane both being rather unstable (degration to linear propene and 1-butene). Five and six membered rings are quite common.
The most 'famous' cyclic hydrocarbon is the aromatics-group of benzene, which is the cyclic 'honeycomb' formed 1,3,5-cyclohexatriene C6H6 (and derivatives).

Is styrene considered as an alkene?
No styrene is a cyclic hydrocarbon.
What is a characteristic aromatic hydrocarbon?
They are cyclic they have single and double bonds
What is the molecular formula of Cyclopropane?
there cannot be a cyclic compound formed with ethene, i.e a 2 carbon compound. smallest cyclic hydrocarbon is cyclopropane (C3H6), smallest cyclic alkene is cyclopropene (C3H4), and smallest alkyne is Cyclopropene (C3H2)
Benzene behaves differently from a hydrocarbon which?
Benzine has a "1 & 1/2 bond", with delocalized electrons. It would behave differently than saturated alkanes, for example hexane or cyclic hexane.
Why Is Petrol Called Hydrocarbon?
Hydrocarbon is a carbon dioxide but is also call hydrocarbon
Is styrene considered as an alkene?
No styrene is a cyclic hydrocarbon.
Are cyclic hydrocarbon unsaturated?
Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.
Example of an aromatic hydrocarbon?
Benzene, cyclic C6H6
What is a characteristic aromatic hydrocarbon?
They are cyclic they have single and double bonds
Is Cyclohexane a cyclic hydrocarbon having six carbon atoms in a straight chain?
no
What is an amplificant?
An amplificant is a cyclic hydrocarbon which replaces a superatom in the amplification process of phane nomenclature.
Is octane a saturate carbon?
Octane is any hydrocarbon made of 8 carbons, it can be saturated, unsaturated, branched, cyclic, etc.
What is an example of cyclic hydrocarbon?
A halogenated hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon in which one or more hydrogen atoms is replaced with a halogen atom such as chlorine or fluorine. One example of a halogenated hydrocarbon is trichloroethylene.
What is the molecular formula of Cyclopropane?
there cannot be a cyclic compound formed with ethene, i.e a 2 carbon compound. smallest cyclic hydrocarbon is cyclopropane (C3H6), smallest cyclic alkene is cyclopropene (C3H4), and smallest alkyne is Cyclopropene (C3H2)
How many hydrogens would there be in a hydrocarbon with 121 carbons?
If it is saturated open chain hydrocarbon then hydrogen must be 244.
Benzene behaves differently from a hydrocarbon which?
Benzine has a "1 & 1/2 bond", with delocalized electrons. It would behave differently than saturated alkanes, for example hexane or cyclic hexane.
Every subgroup of a cyclic group is cyclic?
Yes, every subgroup of a cyclic group is cyclic because every subgroup is a group.
