Answer: The name of the above compound is Hexane

Explanation: The Formula for Homolougous series i.e Alkane family is CnH2n+2

The number of the Carbon above is 6 and the number of the Hydrogen is 14.

That means it corroborates with the above formula for the alkame family

C6H(2×6)+2 =C6H12+2

Final answer is C6H14

From the number 6 means "Hex" with the family name "ane"

The name results to Hexane
