Chapter 12, Problem 17b
Write the common name for each of the following:
b. <IMAGE>
Verified step by step guidance1
Examine the chemical structure provided in the image. Identify the functional groups and the overall structure of the compound.
Determine the parent chain or the main structure of the compound. This is typically the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms or the most significant ring structure.
Identify any substituents or branches attached to the parent chain. These could include alkyl groups, halogens, or other functional groups.
Use the common naming conventions for organic compounds to assign a name. Common names often rely on historical or traditional naming rather than systematic IUPAC rules.
Combine the names of the substituents and the parent chain to form the common name, ensuring the name reflects the structure accurately.

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 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 classification of living organisms, which includes naming, describing, and categorizing species. It provides a systematic framework for identifying organisms and understanding their relationships. Familiarity with taxonomy helps in accurately associating common names with their corresponding scientific classifications.
Image Identification
Image identification involves recognizing and naming organisms based on visual cues presented in images. This skill is crucial in fields like biology and ecology, where visual characteristics can help distinguish between similar species. Effective image identification relies on knowledge of both common and scientific names, as well as an understanding of the organism's morphology and habitat.
