Answer:
Substituent
In organic chemistry and biochemistry, a substituent is an atom or group of atoms which replaces one or more hydrogen atoms on the parent chain of a hydrocarbon, becoming a moiety of the resultant new molecule. The terms substituent and functional group, as well as other ones (e.g. side chain, pendant group) are used almost interchangeably to describe branches from a parent structure,[1] though certain distinctions are made in the context of polymer chemistry.
Complex Substituent
The chain with more number of side chains forms a part of the longest carbon chain while the other one is considered the complex substituent. On the complex substituent, numbering is done from the end attached to the principal chain.
