2-ethyl-4-methylheptane
2-ethyl-4-methylheptene
3-methyl-5-propyl-2-hexene
3,5-dimethyl-2-octene

3,5-dimethyl-2-octene

Explanation:

Please note that there is no H at carbon 3 less carbon becomes penta hydra.

The compound is:

CH3

I

C = CH2 - CH3

I

CH2

I

CH - CH3

I

CH2

I

CH2

I

CH3

To name the above compound, do the following:

1. Locate the longest continuous chain i.e octene

2. Start counting from the side that gives the double bond the lowest low count since the double bond is the functional group. In doing this, the double bond is at carbon 2.

3. Locate the substituent groups attached and their position in the parent chain. In doing so, you will see that there are two CH3 group attached and they are at carbon 3 and carbon 5. Since the substituents attached are the same, we'll name them as 'dimethyl' indicate that they are two methyl groups

Now, we'll combine the above findings in order to obtain the name. Therefore, the name of the compound is:

3,5-dimethyl-2-octene

answer: -

reaction:

na + cl ⇌ nacl

balanced chemical equation:

na + 2cl ⇌ nacl2

sodium + clorine goes to form sodium chloride (table salt).

the product is nacl2.

and the reactants are na and cl.

(note: if you don’t know what ⇌ means, read below: -

⇌(double head arrow) means reversible reaction).
