Question

Organic chemistry is the study of molecules made primarily of carbon and hydrogen. The element carbon is unique in that it can form stable molecules consisting of long chains of carbon atoms. Since each carbon atom can form four bonds with other atoms, the number of possible carbon-containing molecules is effectively infinite. Chemists have developed a system of nomenclature for naming organic molecules. Use the rules of organic nomenclature to answer these questions. We are used to seeing molecules drawn in two dimensions, since that is the easiest way to describe them. However, computers allow us to visualize molecules in a manner closer to how they would really look if we could see them at an atomic level. In these three-dimensional representations, double and triple bonds are shorter than single bonds, but are not necessarily represented by multiple lines. A standard color scheme is used to represent elements, with grey or black representing carbon, red representing oxygen, white representing hydrogen, and blue representing nitrogen. What is the name of this molecule?

Answer 1

НН The name is: 1-propanol Explanati on: The number of carbon atoms in the longest carbon chain are 3 so the rootword is prop- The functional group is -OH which is given suffix -ol anditis located at 1st position so the name is 1-propanol
