Do Carbon compounds form rings or long chains?

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
