The name of the given molecule will be "1,4-dichloro-2-pentanone".
What is molecule?
A molecule represents the tiniest unit of a material that keeps its content and properties. It must be made up of two or more atoms that have been joined together by chemical bonds.
What is 1,4-dichloro-2-pentanone?
This molecule will be made by carbon, oxygen , hydrogen and oxygen molecule.
It can be seen that given molecule has 5 carbon atom in which 1 and 4 position of carbon atom chlorine atom is present and at 2 carbon oxygen atom is presence. that's why the name of the given molecule will be "1,4-dichloro-2-pentanone".
In this molecule one ketone and two halogen (Cl) groups are present that's why it can be consider as keto halogen compound.
The molecular formula of this compound can be written as [tex]C_{5} H_{10} Cl_{2} O[/tex]. Presence of oxygen molecule indicate that keto group should be present in the given molecule . So the name of the compound should be 1,4-dichloro-2-pentanone
Therefore, the correct answer will be option (C).
