What is a Cyclopentane (C₅H₁₀)?

Cyclopentane (C₅H₁₀) is an organic compound consisting of a five-membered carbon ring and is classified as an alkane. Cyclopentane is a colorless liquid with a volatile, light petroleum-like odor. It is chemically stable and is often used as a refrigerant and blowing agent. Cyclopentane is particularly noted for its use as a refrigerant in devices like refrigerators and air conditioners. It is also used in the production of foam materials like expanded polystyrene. Cyclopentane is flammable, and inhaling high concentrations can be harmful to health, so proper ventilation and protective measures are required during use.
