Which families of hydrocarbons share the same formula of CnH2n??
I know that cycloalkanes does, but what else??

alkenes. CnH2n represents one degree of unsaturation. T-Roc

I thought it was just cycloalkanes and alkenes. BeC

Alkenes are the other group. You need exactly one double bond or ring in the compound structure to have a CnH2n formula. The ring would be a cycloalkane, and a double bond would be an alkene. Otis T

T-Roc is correct.
This formula also is shared by the alkene hydrocarbons.
