A cyclic compound is a type of chemical compound whose atoms are connected in a ring formation. These compounds can be classified into two main categories: cycloalkanes, which contain only single bonds and are saturated (e.g., cyclohexane), and cycloalkenes, which contain at least one double bond and are unsaturated (e.g., cyclopentene). The structure of cyclic compounds can vary in complexity, ranging from simple three- or four-membered rings to larger and more complex systems like polycyclic compounds. Their unique ring structure often imparts specific chemical properties and reactivity compared to their linear counterparts.
An alicycle is an alicyclic compound - any of a class of compounds with both aliphatic and cyclic structure.
Heterocyclic compounds may be aromatic (3 double bonds in the cyclic structure) or nonaromatic.
THF stands for tetrahydrofuran, which is a solvent commonly used in organic chemistry reactions. It is a heterocyclic compound with a cyclic ether structure.
Benzene is a cyclic structure containing six carbon atoms.

Aromatic compounds have a stable, cyclic structure with delocalized electrons, while antiaromatic compounds are unstable with a cyclic structure and conjugated pi electrons. Nonaromatic compounds do not have a cyclic structure or delocalized electrons.
A cyclic alcohol is a type of alcohol where the hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to a carbon atom within a ring structure. These compounds exhibit unique chemical properties due to the presence of the ring structure. Examples include cyclohexanol and cyclopentanol.
Polar
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)
No: If a material contained carbon atoms only, it would be an element, not a compound.
Styrene is not considered an alkene because it contains a benzene ring in its structure in addition to the ethenyl functional group. Styrene is categorized as a vinyl aromatic compound.
