a.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given formula ${\text{(C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}\text{)}$ acyclic alkanes or cycloalkanes has to be represented.

Concept Introduction:

Acyclic alkane:

Alkanes are aliphatic hydrocarbon. Alkanes which contains carbon atoms but no rings are present are known as acyclic alkanes. Acyclic carbons are generally saturated hydrocarbons. The general formula of alkanes ${\text{C}}_{\text{n}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2n+2}}$_, where n refers to number of hydrogen present in acyclic alkane.

Cycloalkanes

Carbon atoms are lined up in a ring are called as cycloalkanes. The two hydrogen atom from the terminal carbon of a chain is removed to form cycloalkanes. These compounds can be drawn using polygons. The cycloalkane compounds are named by adding the prefix before the name of acyclic alkane having same number of carbon atoms. The general formula of cycloalkanes is ${\text{C}}_{\text{n}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2n}}$_, where n refers to number of hydrogen atom present in cycloalkane compound.
