Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The given compounds are to be named and their formula is to be indicated.
Concept introduction: Rules given by IUPAC should be followed to name an organic compound. Any organic compound has only one name that denotes that compound. The root word determines the number of carbons while counting the longest carbon chain. If more than one substituent are present, prefixes like di, tri, tetra, etc. are used and different substituents are written in alphabetical order.
