Structure of 2,3-dimethylheptane

Please find the structure of the hydrocarbon in the attachment section and details on how to draw it in the explanation section.

Explanation:

Heptane is a member of the alkane group, which has a general formula of CnH2n+2. If n in heptane is 7, this means that the chemical formula for heptane will be C7H16 i.e.

= C7H2(7) + 2

= C7H14+2

= C7H16

C7H16 is the chemical formula for heptane, which is a linear hydrocarbon with 7 carbon atoms and 16 hydrogen atoms. However, in the name of the hydrocarbon compound given in the question: 2,3-dimethylheptane;

- Two methyl groups (CH3) has a substituted two hydrogen atoms specifically at carbon 2 and 3 respectively. Therefore, the new chemical formula of 2,3-dimethylheptane will be: C7H14(CH3)2

Please find the structural formula of the compound; 2,3-dimethylheptane as an attachment.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.

i believe the answer is true.
