Question

Chemistry must be done asap

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the longest, continuous carbon chain. This is the parent chain. Hydrogens have been omitted for the sake of simplicity.

C - C - C - C - C - C - C - C

There are 8 carbons, so the parent name is octane.

Step 2: Number the carbons so the substituent, the CH₃, on the parent chain gets the lowest possible number. We will number from right to left. The third carbon has a methyl group -CH₃.

3-methyl

Step 3: Put the entire name together.

3-methyloctane
