Which of the following options are correct? 1. Three carbon atom is indicated by 'prop'. 2. Four carbon atom is indicated by 'but'. 3. Seven carbon atom is indicated by 'Hex'. 4. Nine carbon atom is indicated by 'Non'.
Which of the following options are correct? 1. Three carbon atom is indicated by 'prop'. 2. Four carbon atom is indicated by 'but'. 3. Seven carbon atom is indicated by 'Hex'. 4. Nine carbon atom is indicated by 'Non'. Correct Answer Only 1, 2 & 4 are correct
The correct answer is 3 i.e. Only 1, 2 & 4 are correct.
Explanation:
- The organic compounds have two names: common name and official names (IUPAC names).
- The official names or systematic names of organic compounds were given by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry in 1958, so they are called IUPAC names or IUPAC nomenclature.
- To name hydrocarbons by the IUPAC method, we should remember the following points :
The number of carbon atoms in a hydrocarbon is indicated by using the following stems:
| One carbon atom | Meth |
| Two carbon atom | Eth |
| Three carbon atom | Prop |
| Four carbon atom | But |
| Five carbon atom | Pent |
| Six carbon atom | Hex |
| Seven carbon atom | Hept |
| Eight carbon atom | Oct |
| Nine carbon atom | Non |
| Ten carbon atom | Dec |
- A saturated hydrocarbon containing a single bond is indicated by writing the word 'ane' after the stem.
- An unsaturated hydrocarbon containing a double bond is indicated by writing the word 'ene' after the stem.
- An unsaturated hydrocarbon containing a triple bond is indicated by writing the word 'yne' after the stem.
