Yes.
The only group of order 1 is the trivial group containing only the identity element. All groups of orders 2 or 3 are cyclic since 2 and 3 are both prime numbers. Therefore, any group of order less than or equal to four must be a cyclic group.
There's a theorem to the effect that every group of prime order is cyclic. Since 5 is prime, the assertion in the question follows from the said theorem.
Four of them.
By LaGrange's Thm., the order of an element of a group must divide the order of the group. Since 3 is prime, up to isomorphism, the only group of order three is {1,x,x^2} where x^3=1. Note that this is a finite cyclic group. Since all cyclic groups are abelian, because they can be modeled by addition mod an integer, the group of order 3 is abelian.
D2, the dihedral group of order 4, consists of rotations and reflections of a square, while Z12, the cyclic group of order 12, is generated by the addition of integers modulo 12. D2 is not cyclic, as it cannot be generated by a single element, whereas Z12 is cyclic, generated by 1. Furthermore, the structure of the groups differs: D2 has elements of order 2 (the reflections) and elements of order 4 (the rotations), while Z12 has elements of various orders that are consistent with a cyclic structure. Hence, their different algebraic structures confirm that D2 and Z12 are not isomorphic.

A cyclic group of order two looks like this.It has two elements e and x such that ex = xe = x and e2 = x2 = e.So it is clear how it relates to the identity.In a cyclic group of order 2, every element is its own inverse.
The order of a cyclic group is the number of distinct elements in the group. It is also the smallest power, k, such that xk = i for all elements x in the group (i is the identity).
Lagrange theorem states that the order of any subgroup of a group G must divide order of the group G. If order p of the group G is prime the only divisors are 1 and p, therefore the only subgroups of G are {e} and G itself. Take any a not equal e. Then the set of all integer powers of a is by definition a cyclic subgroup of G, but the only subgroup of G with more then 1 element is G itself, therefore G is cyclic. QED.

There are two: the cyclic group (C10) and the dihedral group (D10).
By LaGrange's Thm., the order of an element of a group must divide the order of the group. Since 3 is prime, up to isomorphism, the only group of order three is {1,x,x^2} where x^3=1. Note that this is a finite cyclic group. Since all cyclic groups are abelian, because they can be modeled by addition mod an integer, the group of order 3 is abelian.
An element ( g ) of a group ( G ) has order ( n ) if the smallest positive integer ( k ) such that ( g^k = e ) (the identity element) is ( n ). This means the powers of ( g ) generate the set ( { e, g, g^2, \ldots, g^{n-1} } ), which contains ( n ) distinct elements. Therefore, the cyclic group generated by ( g ), denoted ( \langle g \rangle ), has exactly ( n ) elements, thus it is a cyclic group of order ( n ). Conversely, if ( \langle g \rangle ) is a cyclic group of order ( n ), then ( g ) must also have order ( n ) since ( g^n = e ) is the first occurrence of the identity.
In group theory, there is exactly one group of order 5, which is the cyclic group ( \mathbb{Z}/5\mathbb{Z} ). This is because 5 is a prime number, and any group of prime order is cyclic and isomorphic to the integers modulo that prime. Therefore, up to isomorphism, there is only one group with 5 elements.
Number of generators of that group
some examples of symbols for permuation groups are: Sn Cn An These are the symmetric group, the cyclic group and the alternating group of order n. (Alternating group is order n!/2, n>2) One other is the Dihedral group Dn of order 2n.
The order of a group is the same as its cardinality - i.e. the number of elements the set contains. The order of a particular element is the order of the (cyclic) group generated by that element - i.e. the order of the group {...a-4, a-3, a-2, a-1, e, a, a2, a3, a4...}. If these powers do not go on forever, it will have a finite order; otherwise the order will be infinite.
