Answer:
Steps for IUPAC naming
Identification of the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain.
Identification of all of the substituents (groups appending from the parent chain).
Identification of parental functional group.
Identification of other remaining functional group.
ex:- double bond, triple bond
Identification of side chain
The numbering of chain, side chain, various substituent, and bond with their locant.
assigning primary and secondary prefixes, suffixes, and root words in order to complete IUPAC naming.
