Question

In IUPAC, For one single bonded carbon chain the chemical ending is ____.
1. ane
2. hex
3. ol
4. cyclo

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : ane

The Correct Answer is Option 1, i.e. ane.

• In IUPAC, For one single-bonded carbon chain, the chemical ending is ane.
• An alkane consists of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a chain structure in which all the carbon-carbon bonds are single.
• Catenation is the bonding of atoms of the same substance, called a chain, into a sequence.
• A chain or ring form can be opened when its ends are bonded to each other (an open-chain compound) or closed when bonded in a ring (a cyclic compound).
• Cyclo is the substituent name for a ring compound.
• The indication for a six-carbon chain (substituent name) is hex.
• For alcohol, the chemical ending is ol.
