Cycloalkanes (also called naphthenes, especially if from petroleum sources) are types of alkanes which have one or more rings of carbon atoms in the chemical structure of their molecules. Alkanes are types of organic hydrocarbon compounds which have only single chemical bonds in their chemical structure. Cycloalkanes consist of only carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atoms and are saturated because there're no multiple C-C bonds to hydrogenate (add more hydrogen to). A general chemical formula for cycl… (
