QUESTION:

Combine the proper prefix, infix, and suffix and write the IUPAC name for eachcompound.

ANSWER:

Key concepts

General approach of the IUPAC system

The name we give to any compound with a chain of carbon atoms consists of three parts

a prefix, an infix (a modifying element inserted into a word), and a suffix.

Each part provides specific information about the structure of the compound.

1. The prefix indicates the number of carbon atoms in the parent chain.

2. The infix indicates the nature of the carbon-carbon bonds in the parent chain.

   

                                                     

3. The suffix indicates the class of compound to which the substance belongs.

Step 1 of 5

We have to write the IUPAC name for each compound by Combining the proper prefix, infix, and suffix.
