Best answer

i. The molecular formula of cyclopentane is C5H10.
ii. Each carbon atom completes its octet by sharing two of its valence electrons with two other carbon atoms and by sharing remaining two electrons with two hydrogen atoms. Due to this sharing of electrons, each hydrogen atom also completes its duplet (i.e., 2 electrons in the outermost shell).
iii. This results in
five-membered ring structure.
