Answer 1

Answer:

(3E,6E,8E,10E)-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadeca-1,3,6,8,10,14-hexaene

Here, the longest carbon chain is 16 "C".

The longest carbon chain is given in [--]. Which is pronounced as hexadecene.

After deciding the longest "C" chain. We will look for the substitution on the chain. Here, the -CH₃ is the substituents present on the chain (four (tetra) methyl substituent groups are present).

The presence of 6-double bonds are presented by introducing the "hexa" term in the hexadecene.

15-methyl 11-methyl 7-methyl 3-methyl 10E 8E I 6E (3E,6E,8E,10E) -3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadeca-1,3,6,8,10,14-hexaene

Please look for the above images for understanding of nomenclature.
