(CH3)3 how is that?
What are those three methyls connected to? What is on the -C- carbon, something has to be attached.
2. yes
3. it is a butane, 4 carbons, and a tetramethyl (2,3)
Write IUPAC name of the following alkanes:
1. (CH3)3-C-CH2-CH2-CH3
Would the name be 2,2,4-trimethylhexane?
2. CH3CHCH2CHCH2CH2CH3 with a CH3 attached to the 2nd carbon and the 4th carbon.
Would the name be 2,4-diheptane?
3. CH3-C-C-CH3 with a CH3 attached to the top and bottom of both C (4 CH3 total).
Would the name be 1,2-trimethylethane?
If someone could please check to see if my answers are right so I know if I am doing this correctly, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

1. (CH3)3-C-CH2-CH2-CH3
Would the name be 2,2,4-trimethylhexane?
Longest chain is 5 so a pentane derivative.
1,1-dimethypentane
2. CH3CHCH2CHCH2CH2CH3 with a CH3 attached to the 2nd carbon and the 4th carbon.
Would the name be 2,4-diheptane?
2,4-dimethlyheptane
as we can't distinguish between the optical isomers
3. CH3-C-C-CH3 with a CH3 attached to the top and bottom of both C (4 CH3 total).
Would the name be 1,2-trimethylethane?
2,4 dimethylbutane
