I got a question here
Q. Using diagrams, show the difference between the molecular structure of a saturated and a cyclic hydrocarbon.
So is this this saying that a cyclic hydrocarbon is not a saturated hydrocarbon?
What is though was that a saturated hydrocarbon was simply just a carbon chain with single bonds?
Or is this question just phrased kind of funny?
Anyone know?

Perhaps it refers to the fact that cyclic hydrocarbons follow CnH2n formula, same as alkenes do.
