Q: What is a hydrocarbon in which the carbon chain joins to itself in a ring?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

A cyclic hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon in which the carbon chain joins to itself in a ring. A cycloalkane is a cyclic hydrocarbon in which all of the carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds. Like other alkanes, cycloalkanes are saturated compounds. Cycloalkanes have the general formula of C n H 2n . The simplest cycloalkane is cyclopropane, a three-carbon ring.

 Choices:

- asymmetrical hydrocarbon

- circular hydrocarbon

- acid hydrocarbon

- cyclic hydrocarbon


A:
cyclic hydrocarbon
