<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.

Why is it better to give the actual speed of an object rather than to simply say it moved fast or it moved slowly
DIA [1.3K]
Specificity. It’s really loose to say that something is fast, since speed can be scalarly linked and relative. I could say that both a car on the highway is fast, but so is the speed of light. The actual speed of something helps to do away with the arbitrary nature of using “fast” and “slow”; however, we’re still at step one of the person who is receiving the information is unfamiliar with the scale that the actual speed is defined in.

How did the first DNA formed
blsea [12.9K]
Experiments suggest that organic molecules could have been synthesized in the atmosphere of early Earth and rained down into the oceans. RNA and DNA molecules — the genetic material for all life — are just long chains of simple nucleotides. Replicating molecules evolved and began to undergo natural selection.
