Chapter 12, Problem 17a
Write the common name for each of the following:
a. <IMAGE>
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Identify the structure of the compound shown in the image. Look for functional groups, the number of carbon atoms, and any branching or substituents present.
Step 2: Determine the parent chain of the compound, which is the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms. This will help establish the base name of the compound.
Step 3: Identify any substituents or functional groups attached to the parent chain. Common substituents include alkyl groups (e.g., methyl, ethyl) and functional groups like hydroxyl (-OH) or halogens.
Step 4: Assign positions to the substituents based on the numbering of the parent chain. Number the chain so that the substituents have the lowest possible numbers.
Step 5: Combine the information from the previous steps to write the common name of the compound. Common names often use traditional naming conventions rather than systematic IUPAC rules.

Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Common Names in Biology
Common names are the everyday names used to refer to species, as opposed to their scientific names, which are standardized and often in Latin. These names can vary by region and language, making them more accessible to the general public. Understanding common names is essential for effective communication about species in various contexts, such as education, conservation, and research.
Taxonomy
Taxonomy is the science of classifying organisms into categories based on shared characteristics. It involves hierarchical levels, including domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Knowledge of taxonomy is crucial for identifying organisms and understanding their relationships within the broader context of biodiversity.
Image Identification
Image identification refers to the process of recognizing and naming an organism based on visual cues presented in an image. This skill is important in fields like biology and ecology, where visual characteristics such as color, shape, and size can help distinguish between species. Effective image identification often requires familiarity with both common and scientific names.
