So in this problem, we're going to write the name of the organic compounds pictured below.
00:08
So first of all, we need to determine the name of the straight chain alkan based off of how many carbons are in the chain.
00:14
Then we're going to number the chain so that the substituent is on the lower numbered carbon.
00:20
So we'll start numbering from the left in both cases.
00:24
Then we're going to change the ending of the halogen substituent from i to o.
00:29
So, for example, the first one, when we count the number of carbons in the chain, we end up getting five carbons.
00:36
Therefore, the straight chain alkan is called pentane because pent is the prefix for five carbons...
