Answer:
- Such a alkane has only one ring that is cyclooctane.
Explanation:
- The general formula of alkane is CnH2n+2. Such general formula is applicable for only open chain alkane.
- When alkane form ring, then this formula does not remain valid.
- The general formula of Cycloalkane is CnH2n.
As in this case, there are 8-carbon and 16-hydrogen that is according to above cycloalkane formula.
