Cyclopentadiene is much more acidic than cyclopentane. The reason is that
- Acyclopentadiene has conjugated double bonds
- Bcyclopentadiene has both $sp^2$ and $sp^3$ hybridized carbon atoms
- Ccyclopentadiene is a strain-free cyclic system
- Dcyclopentadienide ion,the conjugate base of cyclopentadiene,is an aromatic species and hence has higher stability
