Answer:In organic chemistry, pentyl is a five-carbon alkyl functional group (substituent) with chemical formula -C5H11. It is the substituent form of the alkane pentane.
In older literature, the common non-systematic name amyl was often used for the pentyl group. Conversely, the name pentyl was used for several five-carbon branched alkyl groups, distinguished by various prefixes.
A cyclopentyl group is a ring with the formula -C5H9.
The name is also used for the pentyl radical, a pentyl group as an isolated molecule. This free radical is only observed in extreme conditions.[1] Its formula is often written "C
5H
11•" or "•C
5H
11" to indicate that it has one unsatisfied valence bond.
