Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The name of the hydrocarbon whose carbon skeleton is given below is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The carbon skeleton of a compound represents the chain of carbon atoms that acts as a backbone of the compound. The carbon atom present in the alkyl group and halogens are also represented in the carbon skeleton.
Steps to follow to determine the name of the compound is:
Step 1: Identify the longest carbon chain and number the carbon atoms such that the substituents attached to the parent chain get the lowest possible number.
Step 2: Identify the carbon number to which the substituent is attached.
Step 3: Identify the substituent or branched group attached to the main carbon chain.
