<u>Answer:</u> The name of the given hydrocarbon is hexane.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The given hydrocarbon has all the single bond between carbon and carbon atoms. Thus, this compound is considered as an alkane.
The IUPAC nomenclature of alkanes are given as follows:
Select the longest possible carbon chain.
For the number of carbon atom, we add prefix as 'meth' for 1, 'eth' for 2, 'prop' for 3, 'but' for 4, 'pent' for 5, 'hex' for 6, 'sept' for 7, 'oct' for 8, 'nona' for 9 and 'deca' for 10.
A suffix '-ane' is added at the end of the name.
If two of more similar alkyl groups are present, then the words 'di', 'tri' 'tetra' and so on are used to specify the number of times these alkyl groups appear in the chain.
Hence, the name for given hydrocarbon will be hexane.
more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.
