Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The names for the mentioned bicyclic alkanes are to be given.

Concept introduction:

For naming bicyclo-compounds:

Compounds containing two fixed or bridged rings are known as bicycloalkanes.

Then, the number of carbon atoms in each bridge is written in square brackets in decreasing order.

For numbering the substituent groups, start numbering from the longest chain to the middle-numbered chain and at last, the shortest chain.
