Question

Draw the following molecules:
(a) 1,3-dimethylcyclohexane
(b) 3-ethyl-2,2-dimethylpentane

Answer 1

explain more about this question please.

it is hard to understand.

Sorry

Answer 2

To draw the molecules, sketch the cyclohexane ring for 1,3-dimethylcyclohexane, add two methyl groups on the 1st and 3rd carbons, and for 3-ethyl-2,2-dimethylpentane, draw a five-carbon chain with two methyl groups on the 2nd carbon and an ethyl group on the 3rd carbon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to draw the molecules of 1,3-dimethylcyclohexane and 3-ethyl-2,2-dimethylpentane. To explain how to draw them:

1. For 1,3-dimethylcyclohexane, start by drawing a hexagon to represent the cyclohexane ring. Then, add two methyl groups (CH3) attached to the first (1st) and third (3rd) carbon atoms of the ring.
2. For 3-ethyl-2,2-dimethylpentane, begin by drawing a chain of five carbon atoms to represent pentane. Then add two methyl groups to the second (2nd) carbon atom, and an ethyl group (CH2CH3) to the third (3rd) carbon atom.

Remember that each carbon atom in the chains should have four bonds total, which can be to other carbons or to hydrogen atoms.
