Video transcript

Hi everyone here we have a question asking which of the following is the correct name for the al cane. So first we need to number our longest carbon chain. So we have one, two, 3, 4, 5 and six and 6 is hex. And it's an al caine meaning it only has single bonds. So it's going to end in a nine. So so far we have the base name hexane. Now we need to look at our substitue ints. So we have um ethel here at c. two and c. four, which means only one carbon. So C. Two and C. Four. We have metal. And those are our only to substitute parents. So if we put this together we will get to four and there's two methyl groups. So it's going to be dimethyl dime ethel fixing. And now let's look at our options. So we have a 35 dimethyl hexane. That is incorrect. We have B three ethyl five methyl plantain. That is incorrect. We have C two, methyl four ethyl plantain. That is incorrect. And lastly we have 24 dimethyl hexane. That is correct. And our final answer, thank you for watching. Bye.
