Identify the molecular formula given: \(C_5H_{10}\). This formula corresponds to either alkenes (with one double bond) or cycloalkanes (with a ring), since both have the general formula \(C_nH_{2n}\).
List the possible types of compounds with this formula: linear or branched alkenes with one double bond, and cycloalkanes with no double bonds.
Analyze each option to determine if it fits the formula and the category of alkenes:
- 2-methyl-2-butene is an alkene with 5 carbons and one double bond.
- 1-pentene is a straight-chain alkene with 5 carbons and one double bond.
- cyclopentane is a cycloalkane, not an alkene.
- 2-pentyne is an alkyne (contains a triple bond), so it does not fit the alkene category.
Recall the IUPAC naming rules for alkenes: the longest chain containing the double bond is numbered to give the double bond the lowest possible number, and substituents are named accordingly.
Compare the options to see which is a correct IUPAC name for an alkene isomer of \(C_5H_{10}\): 1-pentene is the correct IUPAC name for a straight-chain alkene with the double bond starting at carbon 1.
