Question

The __________ name for ethers is alkoxy-alkanes.
A.IUAPC
B.IPUAC
C.IUPAC
D.UPIAC

Answer 1

In the given question firstly we have to get the type of the nomenclature that is responsible for the kind of naming of the ethers that has been mentioned in the given problem. Now after this we get that the naming which is mentioned belongs to the IUPAC naming nomenclature.

Complete answer:
-Here according to the question statement the kind of organic compound talked about are the ethers which are just two chains of hydrocarbons which are attached by the oxygen atom between it.
-Now we need to focus on the fillup that has been mentioned in the question. So that fillup basically asks about the system of the naming that has been mentioned in the further statement. Now we can say that there is one such organization that provides the naming for all the organic compounds and is authorized all over the world. This organization is called as the IUPAC.
-The full form of the IUPAC is the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. It is perhaps the main organization that governs the naming process and the nomenclature.
-Its working is dynamic and it changes many times in order to make the already lying system better.
-Similarly we can say that the IUPAC naming assigned for the ethers is alkoxy-alkanes.
-There are many other IUPAC names like methoxymethane or ethoxyethane. These are with the general formula of $R-O-R’$
Thus, the correct option is C, IUPAC.

Note:
IUPAC is an international federation of National Adhering Organizations. These are the organizations that are responsible for the representation of chemists in individual countries. It is also a permanent and crucial member of the prestigious organization of International Science Council (ISC). IUPAC is registered in Zürich, Switzerland, and the administrative office, known as the "IUPAC Secretariat", is in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, United States
