Answer:

Option a. Benzenecarbonitrile

Explanation:

You are not providing the picture of the compound. However, I manage to find the picture of it, so I'm gonna answer this with the picture. Its attached here at the end.

As for the IUPAC name of this compound, it would be Benzenecarbonitrile, or simply, benzonitrile.

This compound has the molecular formula C₆H₅CN. It receives this name over the other ones, because this is a aromatic cyanide, and aromatic cyanide has nitriles behavior, (Strength of the nitrogen over the carbon), therefore, this group has priority over the whole molecule. As the principal chain is the benzene, the carbonitrile is the radical of the group, and when cyano groups are as radical and not as principal chains, it has a behavior of nitrile, and it's named as nitrile. therefore, option b, cannot be the name.

phenylcyanide is naming the phenyl as radical, but the benzene is the principal group in this compound, and the cyanide is the radical. It happens the same thing with cyanophenyl.

Hope this helps

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
The question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below:
.................................................................................................................

Correct Answer is : 54 131Xe

Reason: 
Emission of beta particle from radioactive material increases atomic number by one, but atomic mass number donot change.

In present case, the reactant is 53 131 I. When, iodine emits beta particle i.e. electron, it atomic number increases by one. Hence, it gets converted into Xe. Atomic number of Xenon is 54.
