Textbook Question

Name the following compounds:
a.

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the functional groups present in the compound shown in the image. Functional groups are specific groups of atoms within molecules that determine the chemical properties of those molecules.

Determine the parent chain of the compound. The parent chain is the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms that includes the highest-priority functional group.

Assign a number to each carbon atom in the parent chain, starting from the end closest to the highest-priority functional group. This ensures the functional group gets the lowest possible number.

Name the substituents (side groups) attached to the parent chain. Use prefixes such as 'methyl-', 'ethyl-', etc., to indicate the type and position of each substituent.

Combine the names of the substituents, parent chain, and functional group into the full name of the compound. Follow IUPAC naming rules, ensuring proper use of hyphens, commas, and suffixes.

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Nomenclature

Nomenclature refers to the systematic naming of chemical compounds based on established rules. It is essential for accurately identifying and communicating the structure and composition of substances. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) provides guidelines that help chemists name organic and inorganic compounds consistently.

Chemical Structure

Chemical structure describes the arrangement of atoms within a molecule, including the types of bonds and the spatial orientation of atoms. Understanding the structure is crucial for determining the properties and reactivity of a compound. Visual representations, such as Lewis structures or molecular models, can aid in comprehending how atoms are connected.

Functional Groups

Functional groups are specific groups of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules. They play a key role in determining the behavior and properties of organic compounds. Recognizing functional groups helps in predicting reactivity and understanding the classification of compounds.
