Answer»


Answer :(a) The longest CHAIN is of six carbon atoms. The correct name is hexane.
(b) The longest cahin consists of five carbon atoms. The correct name is 3-methylpentane.
(c) The NUMBERING has been DONE wrongly. The correct name is 1,2-dichloroprogane.
(d) The length chain consists of five carbon atoms. the correct name is 2-methylpentane.
(e) The numbering has been done wrongly the correct name is 1-bromo-2-methylpropane.
(f) The longest chain has not been selected properly the correct name is 3-chlorobutan-2-ol.
(G) The longest chain consists of 6-carbon atoms. the correct name is 3-ethylhexanoic acid (h) The longest chain consits of five carbon atoms. the correct name is 4-methylpent-2-en-1-ol
(j) The longest chain consists of four carbon atoms. the correct name is 2,3-dimethylbutane.
(j) -OH is a primary FUNCTIONAL group and not substituated. the c orrect name is but -2-yne-1,4-diol.
(k) Carboxylic group is a principal functional group and numbering should be done from this end. the correct name of the compound is 4-0ketopentanoic acid.
(l) Keto is a principal functional group and lowestnumber should be given to it. the correct name of the compound is 4-aminobutan-2-one.
