**Question 15: How many hydrogen atoms are present in the molecule shown?**

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram displays a pentagon, which represents a cyclopentane ring, with a methyl group (\(CH_3\)) attached to one of the carbon atoms. This implies the presence of one additional carbon outside the ring.

**Answer Choices:**

- a. 8
- b. 10
- c. 12
- d. 14

**Explanation:**

Cyclopentane has the formula \(C_5H_{10}\). Each carbon in the ring is bonded to two hydrogen atoms, except for the one bonded to the methyl group. The methyl group itself (\(CH_3\)) contributes 3 more hydrogen atoms, giving a total of 12 hydrogen atoms in the entire molecule. 

**Correct Answer: c. 12**
