Answer:
1. 3-methylpentane
2. 2-bromo-3-chloropentane
3. 2,2,4-trimethylpentane
Explanation:
1. CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2CH3.
Methyl group is in the third carbon atom in the long chain. The organic compound has five(5) carbon atoms thus it is named as pentane.
Therefore the name of the compound is
3-methylpentane
2. CH3CH(Br)CH(Cl)CH2CH3
The compound has Chlorine and Bromine in the carbon chain. Chlorine is given as chloro-, Bromine is given as bromo, depending on the position in the carbon chain. Bromine is located in 2 carbon atom and chlorine is in third(3) carbon atom in the long chain. The long chain has five carbon atoms thus pentane.
Naming of the compound we begin with the on lowest in the alphabet. The name of the organic compound is therefore;
2-bromo-3-chloropentane
3. CH3CH(CH3)3CH(CH3)CH2CH3
In this long chained organic compound, methyl-group is found in 2,2 and 4th positions. Since this is still pentane, naming the organic compounds, we start with the one with the lowest carbon. Therefore this becomes;
2,2,4-trimethylpentane
I hope this helps you to know how to name the organic compounds.
