### Organic Chemistry Nomenclature: Carbon Chain Prefixes#### Question 6: What is the prefix for a:(a) one carbon compound = ______(b) five carbon compound = ______(c) seven carbon compound = ______(d) ten carbon compound = ______### ExplanationWhen naming organic compounds, the number of carbon atoms in the longest continuous chain of the molecule is indicated by a specific prefix. Below are the commonly used prefixes for various lengths of carbon chains:1. **Meth-**: Indicates one carbon.2. **Pent-**: Indicates five carbons.3. **Hept-**: Indicates seven carbons.4. **Dec-**: Indicates ten carbons.To answer the question correctly, recall and match the number of carbon atoms with the appropriate prefix. This is fundamental in learning organic chemistry nomenclature, especially when dealing with alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.

Prefix means word used in starting. So,

States of Matter

The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).

Chemical Reactions and Equations

When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
