The image displays a structural diagram of a hydrocarbon molecule, specifically 2,3-dimethylpentane. The diagram consists of a chain with a total of five carbon atoms. The main chain forms a zigzag pattern which is characteristic of carbon chains in organic chemistry diagrams. - **Main Chain**: The central backbone of the structure is a five-carbon chain (pentane). - **Methyl Groups**: Two methyl groups (CH₃) branch off from the main chain. These are attached to the second and third carbon atoms, respectively. This type of diagram is commonly used in organic chemistry to represent the molecular structure of alkanes, which are saturated hydrocarbons with single bonds between carbon atoms.

Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction

 

IUPAC rules : 

1. Choose the longest chain

2. Least sum rule - substituents should get least number 

3. If more than one substituent -Prefixes  should write in alphabetical order
