Which of the following is a cycloalkane?
Correct answer: B. C6H12
- A. C6H14
- B. C6H12
- C. C6H10
- D. C6H0
Explanation
C6H12 follows the formula CnH2n, which is the general formula for cycloalkanes. Cycloalkanes have two Hydrogen atoms less than their parent alkane. Cycloalkanes share the same general formula with alkenes.

About Alkanes
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons containing only carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen single bonds, with the general formula CnH2n+2 for open chains. Their structure, isomerism, IUPAC nomenclature, physical properties, combustion, free-radical halogenation and conformations are covered, including the difference between substitution in alkanes and addition in unsaturated hydrocarbons.
