Interpretation:
Whether the name of the compound is correct or not needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Structural formula of a molecule is determined by considering the longest carbon chain first and then by naming the substituents attached to this chain.
Answer to Problem 13STP
Yes, the name of the compound given by the student is correct.
Explanation of Solution
The given structure is,
We can do the numbering of this structure as follows,
The longest chain in this molecule has 5 carbon atoms. Therefore, it is a pentane. Carbon-2 is attached with an ethene molecule and carbon-3 has two methyl groups.
So, the name of the structure is 2-ethyl-3, 3-dimethyl pentane. Therefore, the name given by the student is correct.
The name given by the student 2-ethyl-3, 3-dimethyl pentane is correct.
