#### Question 13 of 22

Select the complete IUPAC name for the compound, including the correct (R) or (S) designation.

**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram depicts the structural formula of an organic compound with the following features:

- A carbon backbone forming part of a more extensive chain, with a chiral center.
- Two fluorine (F) atoms are attached: one with a wedge bond (indicating it is coming out of the plane of the paper), and another with a dashed bond (indicating it is behind the plane of the paper).
  
**Structure representation:**
```
          |
          F
          |
     C -- | -- C
     |    |
     F    C
          |
```

The name of the compound is:

1. (R)-3-fluoro-3-methylfluoropentane
2. (R)-1,3-difluoro-3-methylpentane
3. (S)-3-fluoro-3-methylpentane
4. (S)-3,5-difluoro-3-methylpentane

#### Notes for Students:

When determining the name of an organic compound, it is essential to consider both the placement of substituents and the configuration (R or S) of any chiral centers. The diagram provided helps visualize the spatial arrangement of atoms around the chiral center, critical for identifying the correct IUPAC name.
