Answer : The structural formula of 2-pentyne is shown below.
Explanation :
Structural formula : In the structural formula, the bonding and type of bonds which holds the atoms in molecule together are shown.
The given name of compound is, 2-pentyne.
A suffix '-yne' present at the end of the name represent the alkyne group.
For the number of carbon atom, we use prefix as 'meth' for 1, 'eth' for 2, 'prop' for 3, 'but' for 4, 'pent' for 5, 'hex' for 6, 'sept' for 7, 'oct' for 8, 'nona' for 9 and 'deca' for 10.
In this compound, the parent chain is 5 membered and a triple bond is present at 2nd position of the parent chain.
Thus, the structural formula of 2-pentyne is shown below.
