Question
### Systematic Naming of Organic Compounds

**Question 14 of 19**

**Provide the correct systematic name for the compound shown here:**

![Chemical Structure Diagram](https://example.com/chemical_structure.jpg)

The diagram presented is a structural representation of an organic chemical compound. The skeletal structure of the molecule appears to be an amide with specific substituents. 

**Analysis of the Structure:**
- The structure consists of a carbon chain with an amide functional group.
- The carbon chain is four carbons long (butane).
- The amide group (NH) is bonded at the terminal carbon of the chain.

**Choosing the Correct Systematic Name:**
The options provided are in the form of clickable tiles containing prefixes, infixes, and suffixes commonly used in organic chemistry nomenclature:

- **Prefixes**: N-, 2-, 5-, 4-, 3-
- **Infixes**: di, tetra, tri, prop (indicates three carbons), meth (one carbon), but (four carbons), eth (two carbons), hex (six carbons), pent (five carbons)
- **Suffixes**: amine, al, amide

The correct systematic name for the compound is based on identifying the number of carbons in the longest chain, the position of the substituents, and the functional group:

- The longest chain contains four carbons -> prefix "but"
- The functional group is an amide -> suffix "amide"
- The substituent groups are two hydrogen atoms bonded to nitrogen (N,N-)

Thus, based on the structure above, the systematic name for the compound is **"butanamide"**.

**Conclusion:**
Understanding the structure of organic compounds is essential for proper systematic naming. This exercise illustrates the importance of identifying the longest carbon chain, functional groups, and substituents in providing an accurate name.

Ensure to practice this technique with different structures to enhance your proficiency in organic chemistry nomenclature.

**Note**: The analysis has omitted a specific amino substituent position, assuming simplicity for educational purposes. Advanced nomenclature might provide additional specificity.
