Transcript text: Identify the two compounds below that have the same parent:

Solution

Step 1: Identify the Parent Chain

Examine each compound to identify the longest continuous carbon chain, which is the parent chain.

Step 2: Compare the Parent Chains

Compare the parent chains of each compound to determine if any two compounds share the same parent chain.

Step 3: Identify Substituents

Identify the substituents attached to the parent chain in each compound and compare them to see if they are the same or different.

The first and third compounds have the same parent chain and substituents, indicating they are the two compounds with the same parent.
