Question

Question 5: How many of the structural isomers of the alkyne in Figure 5 do not

have cyclic structures? Hint: You need to consider placing more than one
functional group in a molecule. The number excludes the alkyne picture in Figure
5. [The answer is a whole number.]
Your answer
Figure 5
