Solution

$A)$ Structural formula of 1-Bromoheptane

$I U P A C$ nomenclature structure:

Prefix $+$ Word root $+$ Suffix

In $1 -$ Bromoheptane:

Prefix: $“ B r o m o ”$ indicates $“ b r o m i n e ”$ group

Word root: $“ h e p t ”$ indicates parent chain of $“ s e v e n c a r b o n s ”$

Suffix: $“ a n e ”$ indicates alkane

Structure of $1 -$ Bromoheptane:

$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} B r$

$B)$ Structural formula of 5-Bromoheptanoic acid

$I U P A C$ nomenclature structure:

$Prefix + Word root + Suffix$

In $5 -$ Bromoheptanoic acid:

Prefix: $“ B r o m o ”$ indicates $“ bromine group ”$

Word root: $“ h e p t ”$ indicates parent chain of $“ s e v e n c a r b o n s ”$

Suffix: $“ oic acid ”$ indicates $“ carboxylic acid group ”$
