To solve the problem, we need to analyze the structures and the IUPAC names given for the hydrocarbons and explain why the names in parentheses are incorrect. ### Step 1: Analyze the first structure and name 1. **Identify the structure**: The first structure is a hydrocarbon with a total of 8 carbon atoms in the longest chain, which is octane. 2. **Number the carbon chain**: We can number the carbon chain from either end. Let's number it from the left: - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 3. **Identify substituents**: The substituents (methyl groups) are located at: ...
