Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound has two bromine atoms attached to adjacent carbons on a benzene ring, indicating that this is a 1,4-disubstituted benzene. Therefore, the correct name is 1,4-dibromobenzene. Option A, 2,5-dibromobenzene, would have bromine atoms attached to carbons that are two carbons apart, and option E, 3,6-dibromocyclohexane, would have bromine atoms attached to carbons on a cyclohexane ring. Option B, 2,5-dibromohexane, is a linear alkane, not a substituted benzene. Option D, 1,4-bromohexene, is a different compound that does not have a benzene ring.
