Q.6. - Organic Chemistry

Question

Question: Draw the five constitutional isomers that have molecular formula ${\mathit{C}}_{\mathbf{5}}{\mathit{H}}_{\mathbf{10}}$ and contain one ring.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Answer

Step 1: Constitutional isomers

A constitutional isomer can be represented by a cyclic ring or linear structure, depending on its molecular formula. Such isomers have different bonding atoms.   

Step 2: Cycloalkane

Acycloalkane has the general molecular formula $C_n{H}_{2n}$ , where n is the number of carbon atoms.

Step 3: Explanation

The given molecule, $C_5{H}_{10}$, has five carbon atoms and ten hydrogen atoms. The isomers are represented below.
