Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The general formula for cycloalkene having only one carbon‑carbon double bond has to be identified from the given options.

Alkane has general molecular formula as ${\text{C}}_{\text{n}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2n+2}}$.  Alkene in which one double is present has general molecular formula as ${\text{C}}_{\text{n}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2n}}$.  Alkyne in which one triple bond is present has the general molecular formula as ${\text{C}}_{\text{n}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2n-2}}$.  Cycloalkanes have the general molecular formula as ${\text{C}}_{\text{n}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2n}}$.  Cycloalkenes in which one double bond is present have the general molecular formula as ${\text{C}}_{\text{n}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2n-2}}$.
