Answer: The name of the given hydrocarbon is hexane.

Explanation:

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.

Answer:

1). 1-pentanol - Primary

2). 3-ethyl-3-pentanol - Tertiary

3). 2-hexanol - Secondary

4). Alcohol with two other carbons attached to the carbon with the hydroxyl group - Secondary

5). Alcohol with one other carbon attached to the carbon with the hydroxyl group - Primary

6). Alcohol with three other carbons attached to the carbon with the hydroxyl group - Tertiary

Explanation:

The distinct types of alcohol have been matched with the categories above as per their descriptions provided. In chemistry, alcohols have been categorized into three different categories namely primary, secondary, and tertiary.

In the primary type, those alcohols are involved in which there is an association of hydroxyl group to a primary atom of carbon along with a minimum of two atoms of hydrogen. Example; ethanol.

In the secondary type, the alcohols have an association of carbon atoms to hydroxyl with a single atom of hydrogen and has a formula of '-CHROH.' Example: 2 - propanol.

In the tertiary alcohols, here the association is between the hydroxyl group with the carbon atom that is saturated and possessing 3 atoms of carbon associated with it. It has a formula of '-CR2OH.' Example: 3-ethyl-3-pentanol, -tert -butyl alcohol, etc.
