Transcribed Image Text:The image depicts the structural formula of a branched hydrocarbon. It consists of a continuous chain and various alkyl group branches. Here is the transcription and explanation:
### Structure Description:
The main chain consists of five carbon atoms in a row:
1. **Main Chain:**
- CH₃-CH-CH₂-C-CH₃
2. **Substituents:**
- The first carbon in the chain (from the left) has a CH₃ branch.
- The third carbon has a CH₂CH₃ branch.
- The fourth carbon has two CH₃ branches.
### Explanation:
- **Carbon Backbone:** The longest carbon chain contains five carbon atoms.
- **Methyl Groups (CH₃):** There are three methyl groups attached to the main chain; one on the second carbon and two on the fourth carbon.
- **Ethyl Group (CH₂CH₃):** An ethyl group is attached to the third carbon in the chain.
This structure is a representation of a complex hydrocarbon, showcasing how different carbon chains and branches can be arranged within a molecule.
