I don't understand the question. Those are all categories of organic molecules. There is no definitive formula for any of them.
A cyclic alkane would be a hydrocarbon with only single bonds between the carbon atoms where these carbon molecules connect into a circular shape.
An alkane is a hydrocarbon with only single bonds between the carbons/with only one carbon (i.e. CH4, methane).
An alkene is a hydrocarbon with at least one double bond between two carbon atoms.
An alkyne is a hydrocarbon with at least one triple bond between two carbon atoms.
