The hydrocarbons with a ring like structure are called cycloalkanes. A compound should have at least 3 carbon atoms to form a cycloalkane.
BASIC FORMULA~ CnH2n, where n=number of carbon atoms in cycloalkane
Examples- Cyclobutane C4H8
Cyclopentane C5H10
Cyclohexane C6H12

These are cyclic compounds and as it is alkane so the carbon involved is sp3 hybridised. For eg. Cyclobutane , Cyclopropane , Cyclopentane , Cyclohexane etc. Keep in mind that as it ihas to be cyclic so atleast 3 C atoms will be there in these compounds.
