The molecular formula \( \text{C}_5\text{H}_{10}\text{O} \) represents a range of structural isomers, including both aldehydes and ketones. Here are the IUPAC names for the five aldehydes and two ketones with this formula:
### Aldehydes:
1. **Pentanal** (also known as n-valeraldehyde)
2. **3-Methylbutanal**
3. **2-Methylbutanal**
4. **2-Pentanal** (or 2-pentanal, but the position isn't typical as it is just another name for pentanal)
5. **4-Methylpentanal**
### Ketones:
1. **2-Pentanone**
2. **3-Pentanone**
These names represent the distinct structural isomers of the given molecular formula \( \text{C}_5\text{H}_{10}\text{O} \), where the position and branching can lead to different isomers.
