Follow-up Question
**Question 12 of 21:**

**Provide the correct common name for the compound shown here.**

The image depicts a structure of a pentagon (representing a cyclopentane ring) with a line branching downwards. This line ends in a carbon connected to two methyl groups (CH₃). The structure can be identified as a type of alkane derivative with a substituent.

**Graph/Diagram Explanation:**

- The main structure is a five-sided polygon, a cycloalkane, known as cyclopentane.
- Attached to the cyclopentane is a straight line representing a carbon atom bonded to two methyl groups (CH₃), indicating a tert-butyl group.

**Options for Naming:**

Below the diagram, there are several options presented as clickable buttons. These are prefixes, numbers, and suffixes commonly used in organic chemistry for naming compounds:

- Numbers: 1-, 4-, 3-, 5-, 6-, 2-
- Prefixes and modifiers: iso, tri, sec-, cyclo, di, tert-
- Base names: eth, prop, hex, but, pent, hept
- Suffixes and additional modifiers: yl, yl, one, ane

To correctly name the compound, these options could be combined to form the appropriate common or systematic name. Based on the structure provided, the correct name should focus on the tert-butyl group attached to the cyclopentane ring.
