Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound shown below is a monosubstituted benzene in which the substituent is bromine. Such compounds are named as substituent + benzene. In this case, the substituent is bromine, so the name of the compound is Bromobenzene. Phenyl bromide and Benzyl bromide are not the correct names as they suggest that the bromine is attached to a functional group, whereas in this case, it is attached directly to the benzene ring. Phenol is also not the correct choice as there is no hydroxy group present on the benzene ring.
