(N/A) The chemical formula for cyclopentane is $C_5H_{10}$.
Cyclopentane is a cyclic hydrocarbon with five carbon atoms arranged in a ring. Each carbon atom is bonded to two other carbon atoms and two hydrogen atoms.
The electron dot structure represents the sharing of electrons between atoms to form covalent bonds. In the structure,each carbon atom shares electrons with two adjacent carbon atoms and two hydrogen atoms to complete its octet,while each hydrogen atom shares an electron to complete its duplet.
