Question

Find number of cyclic isomers formed by c5h10

Answer 1

Hey dear,

● Answer -
7 cyclic isomers

● Explanation -
Ring structure of C5H10 can be only cycloalkanes.

Cyclic isomers of C5H10 are,
- Cyclopentane
- 1-methylcyclobutane
- 1-ethylcyclopropane
- 1,1-dimethylcyclopropane
- 1,2-dimethylcyclopropane

Of these, 1,2-dimethylcyclopropane have total 3 optical isomers.

Therefore total no of cyclic isomers for C5H10 are 7.
