Chloropropane is derived from propane by substituting Cl for H on one of the carbon atoms. (b) Suggest names for these two compounds.

welcome back Everyone in this example, we have declared methane produced from a light catalyzed substitution reaction when chlorine reacts with chlorine, methane were told to write the names for the two dyke laura with a nice summers. So our first step is to recall our formula for declaring methane. We would have C two H four cl two. And so to draw its two I summers, we want to go ahead and draw out our bond line diagram. So we have two carbons bonded to one another bonded to four hydrogen. So we have to ch two groups and then we have two chlorine atoms that we can bond either to each adjacent carbon. So we'll just bond one of the chlorine atoms here in the second chlorine atom here. And because we have each of these chlorine atoms bonded to both adjacent carbons, we can recognize that this would be carbon one and this would be carbon too. And so in naming this molecule or this summer we would name it as 12. Die chloral because we have two chlorine atoms, Ethan. And so this would be our first summer where we have our cl groups attached to adjacent carbon atoms. So this is our number one. And then for my summer number two, we would have still are carbon atoms bonded to one another bonded to the following atoms where we can have our chlorine atoms substitue ints bonded to the same carbon atom and let's go ahead and pick the carbon atom on the left. So we would go ahead and bond to chlorine atoms to this carbon as substitue ints and so we would fill in the rest of our bonds as hydrogen atoms. And because we have our substitue in chlorine atoms bonded to the same carbon atom here being carbon one, We would say that this name for this summer is going to be 1, 1 di claro methane since we just have two carbon atoms. And so here we have the chlorine groups attached to the same carbon, sorry, that should say same carbon atom. And this represents summer # two. And so this would be the second answer for the name of our second cyclone with a nice summer. So what Thailand and yellow represents our final answers for our customers of dyke laura ethane and their names. I hope that everything I explained was clear. If you have any questions, please leave them down below and I will see everyone in the next practice video.
