You have the alkane C7H16. 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.
1 answer
It could be n-heptane; 2 methyl hexane, 3 methyl hexane, 2,3 dimethyl pentane, and a variety of others. Do you have anything else to go with the problem? There must be about 9 isomers and you are just whistling in the wind trying to guess the name.
