The general molecular formula of cycloalkenes with only one double bond and one ring (cycle) is:

CnH(2n - 2d)

in which

  • n is a positve integer more than 4 representing the number of C atoms

    and

  • d is the number of double bonds (integer, must be smaller than n-1)

Example: benzene is n=6 and d=3, so C6H6 [C6H(2x6-2x3) = C6H(12-6)]
