Question

Accepted Answer

# 1. Naming the Compounds
## a.
### Brief Explanations:
- **Identify the parent chain**: The longest carbon - chain has 7 carbons, so the parent name is heptane.
- **Identify substituents and functional group**: There is a hydroxyl group ($-OH$) at carbon 4 and two methyl groups ($-CH_3$) at carbon 2.
- **Name the compound**: 2,2 - dimethyl - 4 - heptanol.

## b.
### Brief Explanations:
- **Identify the parent ring**: It is a cyclopentane ring.
- **Identify substituents and functional group**: There is a hydroxyl group ($-OH$) and a methyl group ($-CH_3$) attached to the same carbon.
- **Name the compound**: 1 - methyl - 1 - cyclopentanol.

## c.
### Brief Explanations:
- **Identify the parent chain**: The longest carbon - chain has 5 carbons, so the parent name is pentane.
- **Identify substituents and functional group**: There is a hydroxyl group ($-OH$) at carbon 5 and a chlorine atom ($-Cl$) at carbon 1.
- **Name the compound**: 1 - chloro - 5 - pentanol.

## d.
### Brief Explanations:
- **Identify the ether structure**: Ethers are named as alkoxy alkanes. The general formula is $R - O - R'$. Here, one group is isopropyl ($CH_3CH(CH_3)-$) and the other is propyl ($CH_3CH_2CH_2-$).
- **Name the compound**: isopropyl propyl ether.

## e.
### Brief Explanations:
- **Identify the parent chain**: The longest carbon - chain has 6 carbons, so the parent name is hexane.
- **Identify substituents and functional group**: There is a sulfhydryl group ($-SH$) at carbon 4 and a methyl group ($-CH_3$) at carbon 2.
- **Name the compound**: 2 - methyl - 4 - hexanethiol.

# 2. Identifying Alcohol Types
## Alcohol a:
### Brief Explanations:
- **Determine the type of alcohol**: The carbon atom attached to the $-OH$ group is bonded to two other carbon atoms.
- **Classification**: $2^{\circ}$ (secondary) alcohol.

## Alcohol b:
### Brief Explanations:
- **Determine the type of alcohol**: The carbon atom attached to the $-OH$ group is bonded to three other carbon atoms.
- **Classification**: $3^{\circ}$ (tertiary) alcohol.

## Alcohol c:
### Brief Explanations:
- **Determine the type of alcohol**: The carbon atom attached to the $-OH$ group is bonded to one other carbon atom.
- **Classification**: $1^{\circ}$ (primary) alcohol.
