Question

The following name is wrong. Draw the structure based on it and correct the name: 1,1,1−trimethylheptane

Answer 1

2,2-Dimethyloctane is the correct name.

Eight C atoms make up the longest continuous carbon chain, hence the term "octane" for this molecule.

Description of the chemical structure

• There are 31 bonds in the 2,2-Dimethyloctane molecule overall (s) There are 5 rotatable bonds and 9 non-H bonds (s).
• Skeletal formula, which is the accepted notation for organic compounds, is another name for the 2D chemical structure illustration of 2,2-Dimethyloctane.
• Skeletal formula, which is the accepted notation for organic compounds, is another name for the 2D chemical structure illustration of 2,2-Dimethyloctane.
• In the 2,2-Dimethyloctane chemical structure, the carbon atoms are implied to be at the corner(s) and hydrogen atoms coupled to carbon atoms are not mentioned; instead, it is assumed that each carbon atom is connected to enough hydrogen atoms to form four bonds.
• Based on the ball-and-stick model, which shows both the three-dimensional position of the atoms and the bonds tying them together, the 3D chemical structure image of 2,2-Dimethyloctane is created.
• In order to provide a clearer picture of the atoms and bonds throughout the 2,2-Dimethyloctane chemical structure model, the radius of the spheres is thus smaller than the rod lengths.
