Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's break it down:
- Butane- A 4 carbon alkane
- Methyl - A CH₃ group
- 2,2 - Both the Methyl groups are attached at carbon 2
We can now draw the structure of 2,2-dimethyl butane using the following steps:
- Draw the backbone (butane)
- Draw the substituents (2 methyl groups at carbon 2)
