An
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure for the given haloalkane is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
An alkane is said to be substituted if a hydrogen atom of the alkane is replaced by another atom or group of atoms. In the name of a haloalkane, the root defines the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain. The carbon atom of the root to which the halogen atom is attached is shown by the locant number. The name of the halo substituent tells the halogen which is attached to the longest chain.
(c)
