Answer 2

OPTION (b) IS CORRECT.

(b) 3-METHYL OCTANE.

Explanation:

• Butane contains four(4) carbon atoms. Bromobutane will contain a bromine atom attached to the carbon atom.
• The 2-bromomethane means that the bromine atom will be attached to the second position on the parent carbon chain.
• The option (a) represents the correct structure of 2-bromo butane as bromine is attached to second carbon.
• The option (c) and (d) represents the correct structure.
• Option (b) does not represent the correct structure as it isn't 2-bromo butane, it is 3-methyl octane.
• Therefore, option (b) is correct.
