Work Step by Step
These structures for alkanes are named according to the nomenclature system rules set by the IUPAC.
1. The longest hydrocarbon chain has 6 carbon atoms, thus its a hexane.
2. The numbering starts from the side where the substituent has the lowest possible number.
3. The methyl group is found twice on carbon number 2 and once on carbon number 4. Because there are three methyl groups, it is called a trimethyl.
