### Educational Content: Understanding IUPAC Naming for Alkyl Halides

#### Question:
What is the IUPAC name for the alkyl halide (haloalkane), C₄H₈Br₂, shown here?

#### Structural Diagram:
- The structure is a chemical diagram featuring a carbon chain with two bromine atoms attached.
- In this diagram, there are four carbon atoms in a linear chain. The bromine (Br) atoms are attached to the second carbon atom in the chain.

#### Multiple Choice Options:
A) 3,3-dibromobutane  
B) 3-bromobutane  
C) 2-bromobutane  
D) 2,2-dibromobutane  
E) 4-bromobutane  

#### Explanation:
The correct IUPAC name for the compound based on its structure is **2,2-dibromobutane (Option D)**. The numbering identifies that both bromine atoms are attached to the second carbon in the four-carbon chain (butane), hence "2,2-dibromo".
