(a)
Interpretation: The structure corresponding to
Concept introduction: The systematic naming of organic compound is given by IUPAC. The naming of organic compound is done such that the structure of organic compound is correctly interpreted from the name.
Rules for writing structural formula from IUPAC are:
1. First identify the word root for the given compound.
2. The suffix used in the compound like –ene.
3. Identify the position, location, and number of the substituent bonded to the carbon chain.
The prefix
