Q. Assuming a hydrocarbon $C_{5}H_{10}$ without any double bond, how many different structures exist that contain only one methyl group?

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

It is based on general formula $C_{n}H_{2n}$ n hence it could be an alkene or a cycloalkane. Since, it has no double bond, it must be a cycloalkane. It has one $—CH_{3}$, group as
