Answer

1- Chloro-2,4-Dimethyl Hexane

Work Step by Step

1. The longest carbon chain has 6 carbons so it is hexane. 2. Number the carbon atoms starting from the end nearer a substituent. Carbon 1 will be the carbon atom nearer the chloro group. Chloro group is at number 1 position so we write it 1-chloro 3. There are 2 methyl groups are present at position 2 and 4 so we used 2,4-dimethyl.
