I need an answer,
Chemistry "question":
Name this molecule.

3,4–diethyloctane

Explanation:

To name the compound, we must do the following:

1. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound. In this case, the longest chain is carbon 8 i.e octane.

2. Identify the substituent attached to the compound. In this case, the substituent group attached is ethyl i.e CH2CH3.

Note: there are two ethyl group attached to the compound.

3. Locate the position of the substituent group attached, giving them the lowest possible count. In this, the ethyl group are at carbon 3 and 4.

4. Combine the above to get the name of the compound. Therefore, the name of the compound is:

3,4–diethyloctane.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
