1. What is a branched chain of five carbons with hydrogen atoms attached (penta- means five)?


Sagot :

Answer

Alkanes with five or more carbon atoms are named by adding the suffix -ane to the appropriate numerical multiplier, except the terminal -a is removed from the basic numerical term. Hence, C5H12 is called pentane, C6H14 is called hexane, C7H16 is called heptane and so forth.
