Answer: A cyclic hydrocarbon has the chemical formula C6H12 , it belongs to class cycloalkane.

Explanation: Cycloalkanes are the alkanes , which are arranged in cyclic way. These are the saturated hydrocarbon rings. Cycloalkanes have general formula CnHn. These are the momocyclic rings of cabon and hydrogen atoms.

Because of the saturated molecule there is single bonds in carbon carbon atoms.

example : Cyclohexane , Cyclopantane etc.
