Question

what are the rules for nomenclature of carbon compound​

Answer 1

Answer:

The name of the compound is written but with the substitution in alphabetical order followed by base name (derived from the number of carbons present in parent chain) commasare used between numbers and between letters and numbers dashes are used

Explanation:

first select the longest chain possible. It is known as parent chain number it so that functional group or daughter branch gets least number later count the number of carbons. Now functional group will be prefix and the number which it gets will be next and suffix will be no.of carbons

Answer 2

Number the carbons of the parent chain from the end that gives the substituents the lowest numbers. When compairing a series of numbers, the series that is the "lowest" is the one which contains the lowest number at the occasion of the first difference. If two or more side chains are in equivalent positions, assign the lowest number to the one which will come first in the name.

If the same substituent occurs more than once, the location of each point on which the substituent occurs is given. In addition, the number of times the substituent group occurs is indicated by a prefix (di, tri, tetra, etc.).

If there are two or more different substituents they are listed in alphabetical order using the base name (ignore the prefixes). The only prefix which is used when putting the substituents in alphabetical order is iso as in isopropyl or isobutyl. The prefixes sec- and tert- are not used in determining alphabetical order except when compared with each other.

If chains of equal length are competing for selection as the parent chain, then the choice goes in series to:

a) the chain which has the greatest number of side chains.

b) the chain whose substituents have the lowest- numbers.

c) the chain having the greatest number of carbon atoms in the smaller side chain.

d)the chain having the least branched side chains.

A cyclic (ring) hydrocarbon is designated by the prefix cyclo- which appears directly in front of the base name.
