### Question 3 of 6

**Provide the IUPAC name for the following molecule:**

\[Insert Image of Molecule Structure\]

**Image Description:**
A structural formula is depicted of a molecule with a six-carbon chain. An OH (hydroxyl group) is attached to the second carbon atom in the chain.

**Structure Details:**
- The molecule consists of a straight chain of 6 carbon atoms.
- The hydroxyl (OH) group is attached to the second carbon in the chain.
- The longest continuous carbon chain that contains the hydroxyl group has 6 carbons.

**Explanation:**
To name this molecule according to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature:
1. Identify the longest carbon chain containing the hydroxyl group, which is hexane (6 carbon atoms).
2. Number the chain starting from the end nearest the hydroxyl group.
3. The hydroxyl group is on the second carbon.

Thus, the IUPAC name is **2-Hexanol**.
