Answer:
hexane
Explanation:
This is a 6- carbon hydrocarbon with no multiple bonds or any functional groups (such as -OH). Thus, the prefix 'hex' refers to the 6 carbons and 'ane' refers to the molecule being an alkane.
Naming molecules:
Number of carbons
• pentane: 5 carbons
• hexane: 6 carbons
• heptane: 7 carbons
• octane: 8 carbons
• nonane: 9 carbons
Functional groups (for 6- carbons molecules)
• Alkene (C=C): hexene
• Alcohol (-OH): hexanol
• Alkyne (C≡C): hexyne
