Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following compounds is a cycloalkane?
  • Step 1: Understand what a cycloalkane is. A cycloalkane is a type of hydrocarbon that has a ring structure and only single bonds.
  • Step 2: Look at the formula C5H10. This means there are 5 carbon atoms and 10 hydrogen atoms.
  • Step 3: Check if C5H10 can form a ring. Since it has enough carbon atoms, it can form a ring structure.
  • Step 4: Identify the specific cycloalkane. C5H10 corresponds to cyclopentane, which is a 5-carbon ring.
  • Step 5: Conclude that C5H10 is indeed a cycloalkane because it forms a ring structure.
