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
No: If a material contained carbon atoms only, it would be an element, not a compound.
A hydrocarbon chain is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms linked together in a linear structure. It can vary in length and complexity, with simple chains being straight while more complex chains may be branched or cyclic. The general formula for a hydrocarbon chain is CnH2n+2, where n represents the number of carbon atoms in the chain.
Octane is any hydrocarbon made of 8 carbons, it can be saturated, unsaturated, branched, cyclic, etc.
Benzene, cyclic C6H6
The IUPAC name for the cyclic hydrocarbon compound commonly known as cyclohexane is "cyclohexane."
No, the molecular formula for cyclohexane is C6H12, while the molecular formula for n-hexane is C6H14. Cyclohexane is a cyclic hydrocarbon with a ring structure, while n-hexane is a straight-chain hydrocarbon.
No, cyclohexane and n-hexane are not isomers of each other. They belong to different chemical classes. Cyclohexane is a cyclic compound with a six-membered ring, while n-hexane is an aliphatic straight-chain hydrocarbon with six carbon atoms in a row.
Not much. Both are alkanes, and alkanes are highly unreactive. The only reaction for alkanes I can think of off the top of my head is free radical halogenation, but both hexane and cyclohexane have secondary carbons, so reactivity is comparable. Of course, cyclohexane has 6 secondary carbons while hexane only has 4, so you can make the argument that cyclohexane is more reactive in this example.
YES!!! Definitely. Cyclohexane is is a 6-membered ring like, benzene,. However, the bonds are all single bonds between both carbons and carbon hydrogen/ Since it contains CARBON it is an ORGANIC molecule.
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).

Cyclic hydrocarbons are organic compounds made of carbon and hydrogen. They are structured in rings, or circles. Two examples are cyclobutane and cyclopropane.
Only some cyclic carbon atom rings can properly be called aliphatic: those without any carbon-carbon double bonds or aromatic ring bonds. For example, cyclohexane is aliphatic, but cycolohexene and benzene, which all contain rings of six carbon atoms, are not.
Cyclohexane is a six-carbon cyclic compound with the formula C6H12. In its planar representation, it looks like a regular hexagon, but in its 3D representation, it takes on either a chair or boat conformation. It has many uses in organic and analytical chemistry.
