Physical Properties

The physical properties of cycloalkanes are very similar to those of the corresponding alkanes.

Table of boiling points, melting points and densities of cycloalkanes, from cyclopropane to cyclododecane

The higher symmetry and rigidity of cycloalkanes make their constants a bit higher than those of the corresponding alkanes.
