The substituent in the chain is named by replacing the
“ane” in the alkanes by
a) ene
b) ic
c) one
d) yl

A

Answer: d
Explanation: ene, ic and one are used for representing
alkenes, carboxylic acids, and ketones respectively, hence
yl is the term which is to be substituted in place on ane in
the alkanes.
