Answer and explanation:
cyclopentadiene is more acidic than cyclopentane
hydrocarbon compound are weak acid in nature
This relative acidity is explained by the stability of
cyclopentadienyl anion which is aromatic in nature
(check the attached image file 1)
To answer this question we must look at the stability of the anions that are formed when the compound lose proton.
All the electron in the cyclopentyl anion are localized.
In contrast, the aromatic cyclopentadienyl anion is a stable carbanion as a result of its aromaticity therefore making its conjugate acid a very strong acid compare to other compounds with hydrogen attached to sp³ carbons
