Questions: Question 10 3 pts Name the given molecule: Name:

Solution Steps

Identify the longest continuous carbon chain in the molecule. This chain will determine the base name of the compound. In this case, the longest chain has 7 carbon atoms, so the base name is "heptane."

Number the carbon atoms in the longest chain starting from the end nearest to the substituent (chlorine in this case). This ensures that the substituents get the lowest possible numbers. The chlorine is on the second carbon, so we number the chain from that end.

Identify and name all substituents attached to the main chain. In this molecule, there is a chlorine (chloro) on the second carbon and two methyl groups on the fourth and fifth carbons.
