Introduction to Organic Chemistry
The field of chemistry which deals with the studies of reactions, structures, and properties of organic compounds that comprise carbon bonded through covalent bonding is organic chemistry. The studies regarding the structure of organic compounds could be determined with the help of structural formulas. In order to know about the behavior of organic compounds, a study on the properties has to be done. Both physical properties and chemical properties, the origin of chemical reactivity come under the study regarding the properties of organic compounds. The chemical preparation of polymers, drugs, natural products, and the study of separate organic molecules in the lab come under the study of organic reactions.
Vinyl Group
Vinyl group is the name given to the functional group of -CH=CH2. It can be seen as an ethene molecule with one less hydrogen in number. Hence it is also called as ethenyl group at times.
Straight Chain Hydrocarbons
The requirement to identify each compound needs a richer number of words than informative prefixes like n and iso. The identification of organic molecules is made easier by the use of systematic nomenclature schemes. The organic chemistry nomenclature has two types: traditional and systematic. Common names arise in many forms, but share the characteristic that a link through name and form is unnecessary. The name that matches a certain structure clearly must be remembered as knowing a person's name. In contrast, systemic names, including an overall common set of laws, are locked specifically to the chemical structure.
Unsaturated Hydrocarbon
Following are few examples of alkenes with their general molecular as well as their structural formulas:
Conjugated Compounds in Organic Chemistry
The delocalization of electrons in a molecule is called conjugation in organic chemistry. This delocalisation process of electrons leads to the shortenings or elongations of chemical bonds, but at the same time it causes changes in the chemical properties in conjugated molecules as compared to the non-conjugated ones. For example, conjugated molecules absorb light at longer wavelengths.
Alpha Carbon And Alpha Protons
The carbon directly attached to the functional group in an organic molecule is referred to as the alpha carbon and the hydrogen attached to an alpha carbon are termed as the alpha hydrogens or alpha protons. These alpha carbon atoms and alpha hydrogen atoms are of importance because they undergo certain characteristic reactions in organic chemistry.

![### Question 16 of 20
#### Provide the correct IUPAC name for the skeletal (line-bond) structure shown here. Stereochemistry is ignored.
[**Line-bond structure diagram**]
The structure consists of a main chain with three substituents attached. The main chain has five carbon atoms, two methyl groups attached to the second carbon, and one methyl group attached to the fourth carbon.
To name the structure, we need to identify and name the longest carbon chain and number it in a way that assigns the lowest possible numbers to the substituents.
### Options:
Below the structure there are multiple options for constructing the IUPAC name, listed in boxes. These include:
- Prefixes for numbering: "2,2,4-", "3-", "2-", "2,4,4-", "4-", "2,4-"
- Type prefixes: "cyclo-", "sec-", "tert-", "iso-"
- Multipliers: "di-", "tri-"
- Root names for carbon chain lengths: "hex", "meth", "pent", "but", "prop", "eth"
You are required to construct the correct IUPAC name for the structure using these options.
**Click the appropriate combination of options to form the correct name.**
### Instructions:
1. Identify the longest carbon chain.
2. Number the chain from the end closest to the substituents.
3. Add the substituents in alphabetical order with their position numbers.
4. Combine the correct prefix, root name, and suffix to complete the IUPAC name.
### Correct Formation:
From the options provided, the correct IUPAC name for the given skeletal structure can be constructed as follows:
- Longest chain: **Pentane** (5 carbon atoms)
- Substituents: **Two methyl groups at carbon 2**, **one methyl group at carbon 4**
- Final name: **2,2,4-trimethylpentane**
### Summary:
By analyzing the skeletal structure and using the provided options, you can accurately determine that the correct IUPAC name is **2,2,4-trimethylpentane**.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5707f817-26ef-49f8-a626-ee896014d672%2F8d9127a5-8add-4794-965b-e46351ad1f1f%2Fzzg7h8w_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
