Answer 1

2,2 dimethyl pentane

Answer 2

$\textbf{\boxed{\mathsf{QUESTION:}}}$

IUPAC name of ---

``````````````CH3
```````````````|
H3C----C----CH2CH2CH3
```````````````|
``````````````CH3

$\textbf{\boxed{\mathsf{ANSWER:}}}$

WHAT IS IUPAC?

the IUPAC {International Union of pure and applied chemistry} which serves the international scientific endeavor in the dual function of a fundamental science and mission-oriented Union.

The Union is in a unique position to contribute to the central interdisciplinary chemical sciences.

STEPS FOR IUPAC NOMENCLATURE

STEP 1:

Locate and no. the longest carbon chain in our compound.

so in the given compound longest chain is of 5 carbon atoms

``````````````CH3
```````````````|
H3C----C----CH2CH2CH3
```````````````|
``````````````CH3

STEP 2:

Name that longest carbon chain.

so for 5 carbon atoms prefix is pent-

STEP 3:

Figure out what the ending (suffix) should be.

so as all single bonds are present in the given compound the suffix will be -ane

STEP 4:

Name the side groups.

here in the compound no functional group is present

but 2 methyl atoms are present on the second carbon atom of longest chain

REQUIRED IUPAC NAME :

2,2-Dimethyl Pentane

NOTE :

while solving iupac naming the identification of longest chain is most important

also we should have learnt all the suffix and prefix required for a specific atom or group

also in answer while drawing structure I had used the sign(```) ,so don't consider that sign it is just a blank space
