• A. The systematic names of alkanes are based on the number of carbon atoms in the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms
• B. The trivial names of organic compounds are also known as common names
• C. The systematic names of organic compounds are obtained from using the latest IUPAC system
• D. The maximum number of functional group shall be included in the carbon atom chain irrespective of the longest chain rule.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C), (D)

The maximum number of functional group shall be included in the carbon atom chain irrespective of the longest chain rule.

a $\to$ True

b $\to$ Trivial names = common names

c $\to$ IUPAC rules are followed to arrive at systematic names for compounds.

d $\to$ The longest chain rule is ignored to include the maximum number of functional groups while selecting the parent chain.
