The structural formula for trans-2-chlorocyclopentanol in detail

Structure:

Five carbon atoms form a ring (cyclopentane).

A chlorine atom is attached to the second carbon atom in the ring (trans means the chlorine and hydroxyl groups are on opposite sides of the ring).

A hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to the fourth carbon atom in the ring (trans to the chlorine).

All carbon atoms remaining in the ring have a single hydrogen atom attached.
