Answer:
1-Fluoro-4-nitrobenzene
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. Identify the substituents on the ring,
The groups are <em>fluoro</em> and <em>nitro</em>. They have no priority as functional groups, so the base name is <em>benzene</em>.
Step 2. Identify their relative priorities.
F and NO₂ have no functional group priority, so we list them in alphabetical order. F has <em>alphabetical priority </em>over NO₂. The name becomes <em>fluoronitrobenzene</em>.
Step 3. Number the atoms of the ring.
The C atom bearing the F is <em>C1.</em> Count around the ring, and the NO₂ group is on <em>C4</em>.
Step 4. Name the compound.
Insert the locating numbers <em>immediately in front</em> of the substituents. Use <em>hyphens</em> to join letters to numbers.
The name becomes 1-fluoro-4-nitrobenzene.
