Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structure for trichloroethylene is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The systematic naming of organic compound is given by
Rules for writing IUPAC name from the structural formula are given below.
• First, identify the longest carbon chain.
• The next step is to identify the groups attached to the longest chain.
• Identify the position, location, and a number of the substituents bonded to the carbon chain.
• Use prefix di, tri, tetra if the same type of substituents is present.
• Name the substituents in alphabetical order.
