To determine the correct IUPAC names for the given compound, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Longest Carbon Chain The first step in naming a hydrocarbon is to identify the longest continuous carbon chain. In the given structure, we can see that there is a straight chain of 10 carbon atoms. ### Step 2: Number the Carbon Chain Next, we need to number the carbon chain. We will start numbering from the end that gives the lowest locants for the substituents (branches). ...
