When naming cycloalkanes, thecycloprefix is used for alphabetization.

26.2 Substituents

If a cycloalkane has only one substituent, it is not necessary to assign that substituent a
number. If there is more than one substituent, then it is necessary to number the carbons
and specify which substituent is on which carbon.
