Cycloalkanes have higher boiling points, melting points, and densities than their straight-chain analogs.. Increased London forces are due to more rigid and symmetric cyclic systems.. The smaller cycloalkanes with an odd number of carbon atoms have lower melting points than expected compared to cycloalkanes with an even number of carbon atoms. This is attributed to crystal-packing forces between the two types of cycloalkanes.. Fall 2014. Dr. Sheppard. Conjugated Systems. Benzene . Commonly found in nature as pigments, hormones. Isoprene.
