The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following pairs is incorrectly matched, we will analyze each compound's common name and its corresponding IUPAC name step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Crotonaldehyde - **Common Name**: Crotonaldehyde - **Structure**: CH3CH=CHCHO - **IUPAC Name**: - The longest carbon chain contains 4 carbons. - The double bond is between the second and third carbon. - The aldehyde group is at the end of the chain. - Therefore, the IUPAC name is But-2-enal. **Conclusion**: This matches correctly. ### Step 2: Analyze Cinnamic Acid - **Common Name**: Cinnamic Acid - **Structure**: C6H5CH=CHCOOH - **IUPAC Name**: - The main functional group is the carboxylic acid (COOH). - The longest chain has 3 carbons (including the carbon in the phenyl ring). - The double bond is between the second and third carbon. - Therefore, the IUPAC name is 3-phenylprop-2-enoic acid. **Conclusion**: This matches correctly. ### Step 3: Analyze Lactic Acid - **Common Name**: Lactic Acid - **Structure**: CH3CH(OH)COOH - **IUPAC Name**: - The longest chain has 3 carbons. - The hydroxyl group (OH) is on the second carbon. - The carboxylic acid group is at the end. - Therefore, the IUPAC name is 2-hydroxypropanoic acid. **Conclusion**: This matches correctly. ### Step 4: Analyze Acrylonitrile - **Common Name**: Acrylonitrile - **Structure**: CH2=CH-C≡N - **IUPAC Name**: - The longest chain has 3 carbons. - The double bond is between the first and second carbon. - The nitrile group (C≡N) is at the end of the chain. - Therefore, the IUPAC name is 2-propenenitrile. **Conclusion**: The common name "Acrylonitrile" is incorrectly matched with the IUPAC name "But-2-ene nitrile" as it should be "Prop-2-enenitrile". ### Final Answer The incorrectly matched pair is **Acrylonitrile**. ---
