Option 3 : Both are correct
The correct answer is 3 i.e. Both are correct.
Explanation:
- This compound contains 4 carbon atom which is indicated by writing 'but'.
- This compound has all single bonds, so it is saturated.
- The saturated hydrocarbon is indicated by the ending 'ane'.
- On joining 'but' and 'ane', the IUPAC name of its compound becomes 'butane'.
- The above structure has 4 carbon atoms in one continuous chain.
- Such straight chain compounds are termed 'normal' in the common names.
- The common name of C4H10 hydrocarbon is also 'normal butane' which is also be written as 'n-butane'.
- Thus, the IUPAC name as well as the common name of the hydrocarbon C4H10 is the same, butane.
