PASSAGE-II : In all the organic compounds, the four valencies of carbon atom must be satisfied, either by single, double or triple bonds. It is not possible to get a compound in which the carbon atom has valencies either less or more than four. In these compounds carbon atoms can be linked together in the form of straight chains, branched chains or even ring chains. In order to form branching, an organic compound must have a minimum of

Carbon forms a large number of compounds because of its two unique properties formed many have long straight chains of carbon, branched chains of carbon or rings of carbon. In these compounds, carbon atoms may form single, double or triple covalent bonds. Compounds in which the carbon atoms are linked to each other by single bonds are called saturated carbon compounds whereas compounds having at least one carbon-carbon double or triple bond are called unsaturated carbon compounds. Compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen are known as hydrocarbons. Based on the above information, answer the following questions. Give two examples of carbon compounds which have ring structure.
