Answer

Aldehydes that have the formula $C_{5}H_{10}O$: pentanal, 2-methylbutanal, 3-methylbutanal & 2,2-dimethylpropanal. Ketones that have the formula $C_{5}H_{10}O$: pentanone, 3-methyl-2-pentanone & 3-pentanone.

Work Step by Step

Aldehydes that have the formula $C_{5}H_{10}O$ are: pentanal, 2-methylbutanal, 3-methylbutanal & 2,2-dimethylpropanal. Ketones that have the formula $C_{5}H_{10}O$ are: pentanone, 3-methyl-2-pentanone & 3-pentanone. To draw the structure of aldehyde, draw 5 C in straight chain and C1 carbon will be the aldehyde C. We get pentanal. Draw 4 C in straight chain and C1 carbon will be the aldehyde C. place one methyl group at C2 position to get 2-methyl-1-butanal. Draw 4 C in straight chain and C1 carbon will be the aldehyde C. place one methyl group at C3 position to get 3-methyl-1-butanal. Draw 4 C in straight chain and C1 carbon will be the aldehyde C. place two methyl groups at C2 position to get 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanal. Draw 5 C in straight chain and the C2 carbon will be the ketone 'C'. we get pentanone. Draw 4 C in straight chain and the C2 carbon will be the ketone 'C'. now place one methyl group at C3 position to get 3-methyl-2-butanone. Draw 5 C in straight chain and now C3 carbon will be the ketone 'C'. we get 3-pentanone.
