Answer each question based on the video lesson you just watched. No outside knowledge is needed — all answers come directly from the lesson content.
Apply the systematic and common-name rules for complex substituents shown in the video. Show all steps (identify longest chain, number from attachment point, assign locants, alphabetize, write the full name). Problems increase in difficulty.
Chad explains both conventions for naming complex substituents that are accepted by IUPAC. The systematic approach is explained first and can be used for naming any complex substituent. Chad then presents the common names for the 3 and 4 carbon complex substituents including isopropyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, and tert-butyl groups. Chad finishes the lesson by naming two examples of alkanes that have complex substituents using both the systematic and common names where appropriate.

These are challenging, exam-level questions that require you to apply systematic and common nomenclature rules for complex substituents, analyze branched structures, and evaluate naming decisions. Expect multi-step reasoning, alphabetization traps, and real structural comparisons.
