Question

Cycloalkanes are isomeric with:

Answer 1

Hint : We know that isomers have the same chemical formula but have different t physical and chemical properties. Melting and boiling point of two isomers are different and there is a large difference. Isomers also show different chemical behavior to different chemicals. Also, functional groups, may be different in isomers.

Complete Step By Step Answer:
The word isomer is derived from two Greek words called iso and mer where iso means equal and mer means parts i.e. equal parts. Isomers are defined as those compounds which have the same chemical formula but different arrangement of molecules.
Cycloalkanes are also known by the name naphthenic but it is not similar with naphthalene; these are generally known as monocyclic saturated hydrocarbons. Cycloalkane can also be described as a compound which hydrocarbons. It consists only of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a structure containing a single ring and all of the carbon-carbon bonds are single. On the basis of IUPAC nomenclature, where IUPAC stands for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry it defines that cycloalkanes include those saturated hydrocarbons which are polycyclic in nature. In general form the chemical formula represented for cycloalkanes.
Cycloalkanes are isomeric with alkenes because they have same general formula \[{{C}_{n}}{{H}_{2n}}~\] (i.e. same molecular formula) but possessing different structures.

Note :
Remember that Alkenes are basically those compounds which have saturation in those i.e. presence of double bond in the compound, whereas alkanes are those which have single bond in them, alkynes contain triple bonds with them whereas arenes are aromatic compounds.
