### Question 25.a of 65

**Task:** 
Name the haloalkane in the question(s) below and describe its structure. Provide the IUPAC name for this structure.

**Chemical Structure:** 
The diagram illustrates a haloalkane compound. It consists of a linear chain of five carbon atoms. A chlorine (Cl) atom is bonded to the first carbon atom in the chain. Additionally, there is a methyl (CH₃) group attached to the fourth carbon atom. The rest of the bonds are occupied by hydrogen atoms, although they are not explicitly shown in the diagram.

**IUPAC Name:**
The compound is named as follows in IUPAC nomenclature:
- 1-chloro-4-methylpentane

**Explanation:**
- The parent chain contains five carbon atoms, indicating the root name "pentane."
- A chlorine atom is attached to the first carbon, hence the prefix "1-chloro."
- A methyl group is attached to the fourth carbon, thus "4-methyl."

This haloalkane is an example of a compound featuring both halogen and alkyl substituents on the carbon chain, demonstrating the importance of numbering for correct IUPAC nomenclature.
