Which molecule contains a total of eight carbon atoms?
4-methyl-2-octene
2-methyl-heptane
3-methyl-nonane
4-propyl-3-heptyne
the molecule that contains a total of eight carbon atoms :
b. 2-methyl-heptane
formula of 2-methyl-heptane
C8H18 ( or CH3CH(CH3)CH2(CH2)3CH3 rather )
hope this help
Answer:
The correct answer is 2-methyl-heptane
Explanation:
4-methyl-2-octene
In this organic molecule there is a straight chain of 8 carbon atoms along with methyl group on the forth carbon atom.So, total carbon atom in the molecule are 9 carbon atoms.
2-methyl-heptane
In this organic molecule there is a straight chain of 7 carbon atoms along with methyl group on second carbon atom.So, total carbon atom in the molecule are 8 carbon atoms.
3-methyl-nonane
In this organic molecule there is a straight chain of 9 carbon atoms along with methyl group on third carbon atom.So,total carbon atom in the molecule are 10 carbon atoms.
4-propyl-3-heptyne
In this organic molecule there is a straight chain of 7 carbon atoms along with propyl group on forth carbon atom.So, total carbon atom in the molecule are 11 carbon atoms.
