Ch. 10 Adaptive Quiz: Introduction to Organic Chemistry: Hydrocarbon Structure

Cycloalkanes are classified as saturated hydrocarbons because they contain the maximum number of hydrogens for the given number of carbons (n). However, because these are cyclic, they contain 2 fewer hydrogen atoms than straight chain alkanes. If a cycloalkane has 5 carbon atoms, then it must have ___ hydrogen atoms that saturate it structure.
