Question

What is the name for this molecule? a skeletal model of an 8-carbon zig zag chain. there is a double bond between the first and second carbons. nonene nonane 1-octyne 1-octene

Answer 1

The name of the compound by using the IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds is 1 -octene. The correct option is the last option - 1-octene.

Nomenclature of Organic compounds

From the question, we are to determine the name of the given molecule.

To name the compound, we will follow the IUPAC rules.

Some of IUPAC rules are

• Find the longest continuous carbon chain. Determine the root name for this parent chain.
• For Alkenes (organic compounds with double bond), number the chain of carbons that includes the C=C so that the C=C has the lower position number. Change “ane” to “ene” and assign a position number to the first carbon of the C=C.

The given compound has 8 carbons and a double bond. The root name of the compound is octane.

By IUPAC rules, the compound is an Octene.

Since the double bond is between carbon-1 and carbon-2. The compound becomes 1-octene.

Hence, the name of the compound by using the IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds is 1 -octene. The correct option is the last option - 1-octene.
