B: 2
If it's right plz give brainliest lol <3
Explanation:
2,3-diethyl hexane
At first we select a long chain.
Then, we number that chain from that side where substituent position is closer.
Then, we write it's IUPAC name
Position of substituent + substituent name + chain name + suffix
Here,
2,3 + -diethyl + hex + -ane
= 2,3-diethyl hexane
To change only one variable which is very important than to test the experiment to match the hypothesis again, I think. It’s been a while since I was on that lesson♀️
I think it's covalent...? Hope that helps.
