23.* (1991 1 2) Some of the following names are wrong. For those that are, explain why. For those that are correct, propose a structural formula. A. 1,4-propanediol This name is incorrect. Propane has 3 carbons, so you can't put anything on the fourth position. B. 2-butanal This name is incorrect. "-al" denotes an aldehyde, but the 2 position would give a ketone. C. 2,3-pentadiene
