Answer 2

Answer:

IUPAC name of CH₃CH₂OH is Ethanol.

Explanation:

Here, the parent chain has 2 carbons, so the root word would be 'Eth'. Since the parent chain is an alkane, the name of the parent chain is ethane. however, the first carbon contains the hydroxy group as a functional group. so suffix 'ol' is added to the name, omitting the last letter of the name of the parent chain. The name of the compound becomes Ethan-1-ol. we can omit 1.

Hence IUPAC name of CH₃CH₂OH is Ethanol.
