Answer 1

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we have to follow the IUPAC rules. Lets analyze each compound:

a. 1-methylbutane

In this compound we have a chain of 5 carbons, so the correct name is Pentane.

b. 1,1,3-trimethylhexane

In this compound, we longest chain is made of 7 carbons, so, we have to use the name "heptane". Carbon one would be the closet one to the methyl group, so the correct name is 2,4-dimethylheptane.

c. 5-octyne

In this case, carbon 1 would be the closet one to the triplet bond. With this in mind, the correct name is oct-3-yne.

d. 2-ethyl-1-propanol

In this compound, we longest chain is made of 4 carbons, so, we have to use the name "butane". Carbon one would be the carbon with the "OH" group, so the correct name is 2-methylbutan-1-ol.

e. 2.2-dimethyl-3-butanol

In this case, carbon 1 would be the closet one to the "OH". With this in mind, the correct name is 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol.
