IQ1: How do we systematically name organic chemical compounds?
Students:
● investigate the nomenclature of organic chemicals, up to C8, using IUPAC conventions, including simple methyl and ethyl branched chains, including:
– alkanes
IQ2: How can hydrocarbons be classified based on their structure and reactivity?
Students:
● construct models, identify the functional group, and write structural and molecular formulae for homologous series of organic chemical compounds, up to C8:
– alkanes

While the syllabus states you only need to know the names of simple branched versions, Band 6 criteria require that you can "apply knowledge and information to unfamiliar situations to propose comprehensive solutions or explanations for scientific issues or scenarios".
The 2020 HSC MCQ No. 6 contained an example with multiple functional groups. The attached list should help you understand how to name this type of compound.
