Hi there.
00:04
In this question, we are asked to name this alkan using the iupac system.
00:10
So what i did is i just drew the carbon backbone because it is named based upon the carbon backbone since we realize all of the other atoms bonded here are hydrogens.
00:20
So this is just a hydrocarbon.
00:22
It's an alkan because there are all single bonds.
00:26
So since it has all single bonds and is an alkan, we will see a &e, the suffix a &e at the end of its name.
00:35
So to name this, the first thing we need to do is to count the number of carbons in the longest carbon chain.
00:44
All right.
00:44
So in the longest carbon chain, the longest continuous carbon chain, we see five carbons.
00:50
So the prefix for five is penta.
00:55
So this is a pentane.
00:58
As i mentioned, it's going to end with a &e because that tells the, reader that everything is a single bond.
01:05
So we have a pentane.
01:06
By writing pentane, we have just named all five of these carbons in this longest chain.
01:12
The only thing we have left to name now is this branch here, this substituent group coming off of it.
01:22
Okay, so to name that, we see it's a one carbon chain...
