R and S nomenclature: it is used to assign the molecule using CIP rules.
The CIP rules are as follows:
Select the chiral carbon and assign the numbers according to the decreasing atomic mass of atoms attached to it.
If the numbering follows clockwise direction then the molecule is termed as R and if it follows anti-clockwise direction then molecule is termed as S.
Explanation of Solution
The name of the compound is given below,
The number of carbon in parent chain is four, hence the parent hydrocarbon is butane. The functional group of the given molecule is alcohol therefore the suffix “-ane” is replaced with “-ol” indicating the presence of alcohol. In the given structure the second carbon is bonded with alcohol
(f)

Interpretation:
The name has to be given for the organic compound.
Concept introduction:
Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry). IUPAC name consists of three parts, namely Prefix, suffix and root word.
Prefix- Represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.
Suffix- Denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule. It can be an alkene, alkyne, alcohol, carboxylic acid, alcohol etc. To add suffix to name a compound, the suffix “-ane” in the parent alkane is replaced by the respective suffix, which corresponds to the functional group present in the given compound. For carboxylic acid, suffix “-oic” will be added, for alcohol, suffix “-ol” will be added and so on
Root word - Represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.

Explanation of Solution
The name of the compound is given below,
The parent name of the compound is ethyne, in the given structure the first carbon is bonded nitrobenzene (in that third carbon is bonded with nitro group) therefore the name of the compound is 3-nitrophenylethyne.

(i)

Interpretation:
The name has to be given for the organic compound.
Concept introduction:
Concept introduction for IUPAC:
Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry). IUPAC name consists of three parts, namely Prefix, suffix and root word.
Prefix- Represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.
Suffix- Denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule. It can be an alkene, alkyne, alcohol, carboxylic acid, alcohol etc. To add suffix to name a compound, the suffix “-ane” in the parent alkane is replaced by the respective suffix, which corresponds to the functional group present in the given compound. For carboxylic acid, suffix “-oic” will be added, for alcohol, suffix “-ol” will be added and so on
Root word - Represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.
Cis–trans isomerism (or) geometric isomerism or configurational isomerism:
The two similar groups (or higher priority groups) are in same side in double bond of alkenes is called as cis isomer (or Z-isomer). Two similar groups (or higher priority groups) are opposite side in double bond of alkenes is called as trans isomer (or E-isomer).
Example:
Explanation of Solution
The name of the compound is given below,
The parent name of the compound is ethylene (two carbon chain with double bond). Two phenyl group is attached with ethylene at first and second carbon, two hydrogen atom is bonded in opposite direction therefore it is trans. Therefore the name of the compound is 1, 2-Diphenylethylene.
