a) i) What is the systematic name of CH3CH(OH)CH(CH3)CH2CH3\text{CH}_3\text{CH}(\text{OH})\text{CH}(\text{CH}_3)\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3?

  1. Identify the longest carbon chain containing the hydroxyl group.

    The longest chain is 5 carbons, so the parent alkane is pentane.

  2. Number the carbon chain to give the hydroxyl group the lowest possible number.

    Numbering from the right end gives the -OH group at carbon 2 and the methyl group at carbon 3.

  3. Name the substituents and their positions.

    There is a methyl group at position 3.

  4. Combine the parts to
