thumb|right|Ball-and-stick model of cyclobutane In organic chemistry, the cycloalkanes (also called naphthenes, but distinct from naphthalene) are the monocyclic saturated hydrocarbons. In other words, a cycloalkane consists only of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a structure containing a single ring (possibly with side chains), and all of the carbon-carbon bonds are single. The larger cycloalkanes, with more than 20 carbon atoms are typically called cycloparaffins. All cycloalkanes are isomers of alkenes.

AI overview

A cycloalkane is a type of organic molecule made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms arranged in a single ring structure, with all carbon-carbon bonds being single bonds. These molecules are important in organic chemistry because they represent a distinct class of saturated hydrocarbons that differ from their chain-based counterparts and serve as building blocks for understanding more complex organic compounds.
