Answer 2

Carbon's ability to build lengthy chains is known as catenation. In fact, catenation distinguishes carbon atoms from all other atoms found in nature. Carbon chains are now generated when carbon atoms make tetravalent connections with other carbon atoms.

Tetravalent bonds are formed when one carbon atom connects with four additional carbon atoms. This structure may now be replicated indefinitely without affecting the stability of the bonds or chemicals created, indicating that it is repeatable.

The compound in question has heptane as a base chain. That is 7 carbon atoms. Now, each carbon atom at the end of the chain will have a covalent bonds with 3 hydrogen atoms. The ones in the middle will form covalent bonds with 2 hydrogen atoms. Now as the 3rd and 5th carbon has a methyl group, it will have one Hydrogen atom each. While the 4th carbon will have none.

Thus, giving us the structural formula for 3445 tetramethylheptane as:
