Question

Seven carbon chain with CH3 attached to second and third carbon

Answer 1

Answer:

2,3-dimethylheptane.

CH₃ - CH - CH-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂

           |        |

       CH₃    CH₃

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given instructions, it is possible to draw the organic chemical structure by connecting seven carbon atoms along the parent chain with two methyl substituents at the second and third carbon atoms; thus, the resulting structure is:

CH₃ - CH - CH-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂

           |        |

       CH₃    CH₃

Furthermore, the name would be 2,3-dimethylheptane according to the IUPAC rules for nomenclature.

Best regards!
