Answer:

2-chlorohexane

Step-by-step explanation:

In this figure :

  • There are 6 carbon atoms
  • The Cl atom is bonded to the 2nd carbon atom

⇒ The Cl is a substituent group, termed as -chloro

Based on IUPAC nomenclature, the 6 atom chain starts with hex

⇒ There are only single bonds present, so it is an alkane

The name is :

  • 2-chlorohexane
