Answer:
The correct name for the compound [tex]C_{3}H_{8}[/tex] is tricarbon octahydride.
(C) is correct option.
Explanation:
The given compound [tex]C_{3}H_{8}[/tex] is a covalent compound. the compounds in which there is a sharing of electrons between two elements is called covalent compound. here, there is sharing of electrons between hydrogen and carbon.
Hydrogen and carbon are non metal and hence will form covalent bond.
Property of the name of covalent bond is given by,
(I). First we have to write the name more electronegative element and then less electronegative element.
(II). The atoms of an element is greater than 1, then we add to prefixes which are as follows,
For 1 atom = mono
For 2 atom = di
For 3 atom = tri
For 4 atom = tatra
For 5 atom = penta
For 6 atom = hexa
For 7 atom = septa
For 8 atom = octa and so on.
So, The name of the compound will be tricarbon octahydride
Hence, The correct name for the compound [tex]C_{3}H_{8}[/tex] is tricarbon octahydride.
