The target diol is synthesized in one step from 1-methylcyclopentene, but your lab partner exhausted the supply of that alkene.
Fortunately, you have plenty of isomers (C6H10) on hand from which to synthesize 1-methylcyclopentene and, ultimately, the diol. Provide the missing reagents and organic structures needed to most efficiently produce the target product.

Answer:
The reagents are .
Explanation:
1-Methylenecyclopentene is treated with HBr form 1-bromo-1-methylcyclopentane, which is treated with strong base ethoxide ion and forms 1-methylcyclopent-1-ene.
This alkene is treated with osmium tetraoxide in the presence of sodium bisulfite to form target product.
The chemical reaction is as follows.

The compound is formed only by sharing of electrons between the atoms. The structure of the compound is shown in the image.
Each line between two atoms represents the sharing of an electron pair which results in the formation of a single bond. Since, carbon has 4 electrons in its valence shell and hydrogen has 1 electron in its valence shell so in order to complete the octet ( to have 8 electrons in their valence shell, noble gas configuration) to attain stability carbon needs 4 more electrons and hydrogen needs 1 electron. So, sharing of electron will occur as shown in the image and the formed compound is stable in nature.
Since, the bond that is formed by sharing of electrons between atoms is known as covalent bond. So, covalent bonding is most important in .
