"ring" : A cyclic molecular arrangement whose structure is represented by polygons having four to eight sides... The principal element... is usually carbon, as in the hexaganal benzene ring(homocyclic). If an element other than carbon appears in the ring, the compound is called heterocyclic, for example, the pentagonal furane ring. 2, record 11, English, - ring

Source WEBIN (Webster) gives "cycle" as a synonym for "ring". However, as shown by the definition of the term "ring" above, "ring" seems to be a specific term compared to "cycle", since it is a type of cyclic molecular arrangement. 3, record 11, English, - ring

On appelle noyaux certains squelettes cycliques, comme celui du benzène [...]. Les noyaux sont homo- ou carbocycliques, c'est-à-dire formés exclusivement d'atomes de carbone, ou hétérocycliques, c'est-à-dire qu'ils renferment au moins un atome différent du carbone dans leur cycle. Ils sont généralement hexagonaux ou pentagonaux [...] 3, record 11, French, - noyau

Le terme "noyau" est donné comme synonyme du terme "cycle" par le Grand dictionnaire Larousse (LAROG et LGRAN). Si l'on se fie au dictionnaire de la chimie de Duval (code DCHIM), cependant, on est porté à penser que le terme «noyau» est un spécifique. Voir l'observation qui suit. 5, record 11, French, - noyau
