Identify the longest continuous carbon chain in the given structure. The structure shows a straight chain of six carbon atoms connected in a row.
Count the number of carbon atoms in this longest chain. Since there are six carbons, the base name will be derived from the alkane with six carbons.
Check for any branches or substituents attached to the main chain. In this structure, there are no branches or substituents; it is a straight chain.
Use the IUPAC nomenclature rules for alkanes: the name is based on the number of carbons in the longest chain with the suffix '-ane' indicating single bonds only.
Since the chain has six carbons and no substituents, the correct IUPAC name is the alkane with six carbons, which is 'hexane'.
