You have the alkane C6H17. What is the IUPAC name.
I tried heptane and 4-ethyl-3-methylheptane, but it still says my answer is wrong. What would be the answer then.

C6 as heptane? Of course it is wrong. You can do better than that, even if you are answer mooching.
If its an alkane it should be C6H14 if C6 is correct. And C6s are hexane, C7s are heptane. Check the problem to make sure of the formula.
