Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the target molecule

The problem asks for the condensed structural formula of cyclopentene.

Step 2: Understand the structure of cyclopentene

Cyclopentene is a cyclic hydrocarbon with five carbon atoms and one double bond.

Step 3: Match the structure with the given options
  • The first option is a four-carbon ring with a double bond and a methyl group (CH3), which is not cyclopentene.
  • The second option is a five-carbon ring with a double bond, which matches the structure of cyclopentene.
  • The third option is a five-carbon ring with a double bond and a methyl group (CH3), which is not cyclopentene.
  • The fourth option is a four-carbon ring with a double bond, which is not cyclopentene.
  • The fifth option is a five-carbon ring with a double bond, which matches the structure of cyclopentene.

Final Answer

The correct condensed structural formula for cyclopentene is the second and fifth options.
