Question

Draw a line structure for the compound ch₃ch₂ ccch(ch₃)₂

Answer 1

To draw the line structure for the compound CH₃CH₂CCCH(CH₃)₂, start with the parent chain and add the appropriate substituents.

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound CH₃CH₂CCCH(CH₃)₂ can be drawn as follows:

1. Start with the parent chain, which is butane (four carbon atoms in a straight line): CH₃-CH₂-CH=CH(CH₃)-CH₃
2. Add the appropriate substituents to the carbons. In this case, there are two methyl groups on the third carbon and a methyl group on the fourth carbon:

CH₃-CH₂-CH=(CH₃)₂-CH₃
