Solution
Cyclobutane, C4H8 is a four-membered carbocycle.
Explanation:
Cyclobutane has 2 hydrogen atoms less than does butane, C4H10. A chemist would say that the ring has one degree of unsaturation with respect to the parent alkane. The ring junction has reduced the hydrogen count by two.
A degree of unsaturation corresponds to an unsaturated bond, C = O or C = C or a RING, i.e. a C - C junction.
