• The international union of pure and applied chemistry is the apex authority with the power to name chemical compounds.
• There are certain rules for the naming of chemical compounds.
• The Carbon chain should be numbered from left to right or right to left.
• But in these compounds we have branching, so the numbering should be done in such a way that the carbon-containing branching should get the least number.
• Again the sum of carbons having the branching should be the least.
• Here we can number the branches as either 2,4,4 or 2,2,4
• 2,2,4 is having the least sum, so this numbering is preferred over the other.
• The methyl group is repeated 3 times, so we use the suffix 'tri' methyl.
• The longest carbon straight chain has 5 carbon, so it is called pentane
