Give the IUPAC names of
IUPAC nomenclature is the systematic method of naming organic compounds. In IUPAC nomenclature, there are certain specific rules that are used to name a particular compound.
The systematic naming of the compound can be done by following steps:
1. Determination of suffix:
In the given compound, only single bonds are present. So, the compound is an alkane. Therefore, suffix in our case will be -ane.
2. Determination of prefix:
In the given compound, the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain is two. Therefore, the prefix in our case will be Eth-.
3. Determination of substituent:
In the given compound, bromine acts as a substituent on the carbon chain. So, it can be represented as Bromo-
Hence, the IUPAC name of the compound is Bromoethane.
