Question

Part D There is a structure for CH2CHCHCH2CHCH3 with a double bond between the first (from left to right) and the second carbons and a chlorine atom attached to the third and the fifth carbon. Spell out the full name of the compound.

Answer 1

Answer:

3,5-dichlorohex-1-ene

Explanation:

The compound is; H2C=CH-C(Cl)H-CH2-C(Cl)H-CH3. We can rightly call this compound by the name, 3,5-dichlorohex-1-ene.

We arrived at this name by first counting the longest parent carbon chain, that gives hexane. The compound has a double bond at the 1-position. Also, there are two substituent chlorine atoms at positions 3 and 5 in the structure, hence the name given.
