Draw the structure of (1,1-dimethylethyl)cyclopentane.
By knowing that hexane has the molecular formula \( \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{14} \) and cyclohexane has the molecular formula \( \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \), it becomes clear that the formation of a ring resulted in the molecule having 2 fewer hydrogen atom. With this in mind, how many rings does an alkane have if its formula is \( \mathrm{C}_{7} \mathrm{H}_{12} \) ?
Draw trans-1-chloro-2-ethylcyclopropane. Clearly indicate stereochemistry by drawing a wedge and dashed bond at each stereocenter.
