Question

question 10 - 1 point
which of the following would be included in the name of an alkane with 2 chlorine atoms as substituents?
select the correct answer below:
chloride
chloro - chloro
dichloride
dichloro

Explanation:

In organic - naming conventions, when an alkane has two chlorine atoms as substituents, the prefix "dichloro -" is used. "Chloride" refers to the Cl⁻ ion, not a substituent prefix. "Chloro - chloro" is an incorrect way of naming. "Dichloride" is used for ionic compounds, not for naming substituents in alkanes.

Answer:

D. Dichloro
