The structural formula of the following given compound 4-Ethyl-3.4-dimethylheptane is:
Correct answer: A. Option A
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
The correct structural formula for 4-Ethyl-3,4-dimethylheptane involves identifying the longest carbon chain (heptane) and placing the substituents (ethyl at the 4th position and dimethyl at the 3rd and 4th positions) accordingly. Option A is correct because it accurately represents this arrangement. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the specified substituent positions on the carbon chain.
