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

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

I thought it was just cycloalkanes and alkenes. BeC
