The correct Answer is:
To determine the IUPAC name of the compound \( CH_3OC_2H_5 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Structure The given molecular formula can be broken down into two parts: - \( CH_3O \) represents a methoxy group (\( -OCH_3 \)). - \( C_2H_5 \) represents an ethyl group (\( -C_2H_5 \)). ### Step 2: Determine the Parent Chain In this case, the longest carbon chain is the ethyl group which consists of 2 carbon atoms. Therefore, the parent chain is ethane. ### Step 3: Identify the Functional Group The methoxy group (\( -OCH_3 \)) is an ether functional group. In this compound, it is attached to the ethyl group. ### Step 4: Naming the Compound According to IUPAC nomenclature: - The methoxy group is considered a substituent. - The name of the substituent (methoxy) is placed before the name of the parent chain (ethane). Thus, the complete IUPAC name of the compound \( CH_3OC_2H_5 \) is **methoxyethane**. ### Final Answer: The IUPAC name of \( CH_3OC_2H_5 \) is **methoxyethane**. ---
