Answer : The hydrocarbons containing a saturated carbon ring are called Aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon.
Explanation :
As the organic compounds are classified into two categories that is acyclic (aliphatic) and cyclic (aromatic) compounds.
Acyclic compounds : It is an open chain compound with linear structure.
Cyclic compounds : It is a closed chain compound having a carbon ring structure.
Hydrocarbon : It is an organic compound that contains only hydrogen and the carbon atoms. They are of two types which are saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon.
Saturated hydrocarbon : These are the compounds which containing single bonds between the carbon-carbon atoms. In saturated compounds, there are more number of hydrogen bonded with the carbon atom.
Unsaturated hydrocarbon : These are the compounds which containing double and triple bonds between the carbon-carbon atoms. In unsaturated compounds, there are less number of hydrogen bonded with the carbon atom.
Hence, the hydrocarbons containing a saturated carbon ring are called Aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon.
