The carbon atom is unique among elements in its tendency to form extensive networks of covalent bonds not only with other elements but also with itself. ... Moreover, of all the elements in the second row, carbon has the maximum number of outer shell electrons (four) capable of forming covalent bonds.
Hope it helps uh ✌️✌️✌️

Answer:
1-(tert-butoxy)-2-methylpropane
Note: there is a mistake in formula, the correct formula is (CH₃)₂-CH-CH₂-O-C(CH₃)₃ not (CH₃)₂-CH-CH₂-O(CH₃)₃, because oxygen is a divalent compound.
Explanation:
<em>Structural formula is attached</em>
IUPAC naming rules
1. start numbering the chain from the functional group. In this compound we start from oxygen side.
2. Here we can see that at position 1 there is an oxy group along with a tertiary carbon having three methyl groups. So we write it as 1-tert-butoxy. Which means that there is a methoxy group at position 1 along with a tertiary carbon.
3. At position 2 we can see that there is a methyl group attached to the main chain, so we write it as 2-methyl.
4. Now we count the total number of carbons in the main chain. As we can see that there are 3 carbons in the remaining or parent chain, so we write it as propane
5. So the IUPAC name of the compound will be 1-(tert-butoxy)-2-methylpropane
