write the iupac name of c2h2br4. and even mention the steps and reasons, for u r answer?
Dear Student,
The structure of C2H2Br4 is as follows
Since the compound is equivalent on both sides the numbering can be done from either side.
There are 2 carbon atoms so the root word will be eth
All bonds are saturated so the suffix will be ane
The four substituents of Br are present on C1 and C2 so the prefix would be 1,1,2,2 tetrabromo
The complete IUPAC name would be 1,1,2,2 tetrabromoethane.
Regards!
