Answer: The IUPAC name of is 5-chloro-2-pentyne

2. The longest possible carbon chain should contain all the bonds and functional groups.
3. The numbering is done in such a way that the carbon containing the functional group or substituent gets the lowest number. Triple bond is given priority over substituent halogen.
4. The naming of alkane is done by adding the suffix -ane, alkene by adding the suffix -ene, alkyne.
Thus the IUPAC name of is 5-chloro-2-pentyne
