I need an answer,
Chemistry "question":
Name this molecule.

3,4–diethyloctane

Explanation:

To name the compound, we must do the following:

1. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound. In this case, the longest chain is carbon 8 i.e octane.

2. Identify the substituent attached to the compound. In this case, the substituent group attached is ethyl i.e CH2CH3.

Note: there are two ethyl group attached to the compound.

3. Locate the position of the substituent group attached, giving them the lowest possible count. In this, the ethyl group are at carbon 3 and 4.

4. Combine the above to get the name of the compound. Therefore, the name of the compound is:

3,4–diethyloctane.

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
