The smallest cycloalkane is cyclopropane. If you count the carbons and hydrogens, you will see that they no longer fit the general formula CnH2n+2. By joining the carbon atoms in a ring, you have had to lose two hydrogen atoms. You are unlikely to ever need it, but the general formula for a cycloalkane is CnH2n...

By joining the carbon atoms in a ring, you have had to lose two hydrogen atoms. You are unlikely to ever need it, but the general formula for a cycloalkane is CnH2n. Don't imagine that these are all flat molecules. All the cycloalkanes from cyclopentane upwards exist as "puckered rings". Cyclohexane, for example, has a ring structure which looks like this: This is known as the "chair" form of cyclohexane - from its shape which vaguely resembles a chair...
