Cycloalkanes on the other hand will have the general formula of $\Large C_nH_{2n} $ due to their ring structure.

I suppose you could represent an alkane like this, tho R itself is used to represent a methyl group

Luigi0210 · Answer

Not methyl, but just any group

Luigi0210 · Answer

An alkene would be like an alkane but with a double bond rather than a single bond

Actually, this would work too
