Answers
Answer: 2,4-dimethylhexane
Explanation: Hydrocarbons are the organic compounds containing Carbon and Hydrogen . They may be alkane , alkene , alkyne or aromatic hydrocarbons .
Alkanes contain single bond between two carbon atoms . IUPAC suffix : ane
Alkenes contain double bond between any two carbon atoms . IUPAC suffix : ene
Alkyne contain triple bond between any two carbon atoms . IUPAC suffix : yne
Aromatic compounds contain at least one benzene ring in them .
Since in the question , it is not mentioned what type of hydrocarbon the compound is , we take for convenience let it be an alkane . We have next that it contains 2 methyl groups (dimethyl) at position 2 and 4 . So the IUPAC name of our compound is 2,4- dimethylhexane .
