The correct Answer is:
To determine the pair of homocyclic and heterocyclic compounds from the given options, we need to understand the definitions of these terms and analyze the compounds accordingly. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Homocyclic and Heterocyclic Compounds**: - **Homocyclic Compounds**: These are cyclic compounds that contain only carbon atoms in the ring. All atoms in the ring are of the same type (carbon). - **Heterocyclic Compounds**: These are cyclic compounds that contain at least one atom in the ring that is not carbon (such as nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur). 2. **Analyze the Given Options**: - **Option A: Cyclopropane and Cyclohexane**: - Cyclopropane (C3H6) is a three-membered carbon ring. - Cyclohexane (C6H12) is a six-membered carbon ring. - Both compounds contain only carbon atoms, making them **homocyclic**. - **Option B: Cycloethane and Oxirane**: - Cycloethane does not exist as a stable compound (C2H4 cannot form a ring). - Oxirane (C2H4O) contains an oxygen atom in the ring, making it **heterocyclic**. - Since cycloethane does not exist, this option is invalid. - **Option C: Pyridine and Thiophene**: - Pyridine (C5H5N) has a nitrogen atom in the ring, making it **heterocyclic**. - Thiophene (C4H4S) has a sulfur atom in the ring, also making it **heterocyclic**. - Both compounds are heterocyclic, so this option does not contain a homocyclic compound. - **Option D: Cyclopentane and Furan**: - Cyclopentane (C5H10) is a five-membered carbon ring, making it **homocyclic**. - Furan (C4H4O) contains an oxygen atom in the ring, making it **heterocyclic**. - This option contains one homocyclic and one heterocyclic compound. 3. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option D: Cyclopentane (homocyclic) and Furan (heterocyclic)**. ### Final Answer: **Option D: Cyclopentane and Furan is the pair of homocyclic and heterocyclic compounds.** ---
