Question

draw the main chain (the last word on the right side of name) This should be longest continuous path of counting carbons . you can go in many directions​

Answer 1

Answer:

Alkanes are not limited to staying in a line — they can have structures that branch. When naming a branched alkane, your first step is to find and number the longest chain.

This figure shows an example of a branching alkane. As you can see, the alkane with the formula C4H10 can have two possible chemical structures, or isomers — one alkane that’s a straight chain (butane), and one alkane that’s branched (isobutane).

The isomers of C<sub/>4H₁₀.”/>

<div class=The isomers of C4H10.

After you number the parent chain
