The substituent in the chain is named by replacing the "ane" in the alkanes by _
Correct answer: D. yl
- A. ene
- B. ic
- C. One
- D. yl
Explanation
yl is correct. When naming organic compounds, particularly alkanes with substituents, the substituent is named by replacing the "-ane" ending of the parent alkane with "-yl." This is because the "-yl" suffix indicates a single substituent or branch attached to the main carbon chain.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
