Question

name the compound ch3 - c - ch2 - ch2 - ch3

Answer 1

Answer:

The name of the compound is pentane. It is an alkane.
(pent- five). There are 5 Carbon atoms, hence the name.

Explanation:

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH(CH2CH3)-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3

This is the condensed structure of 4-ethylnonane. As you can see, the group written in bold is the group containing the ethyl group (C2H5) at the 4th Carbon (consider the numbering from the left side). And nonane is because there are 9 Carbon atoms present.

Hope this helps!
