Question

How do I draw the molecule, `"2-methyl"-4,5,6-"triethyldecane"`?

Answer 1

Well, first off, draw the hydrocarbyl chain....

Explanation:

`H_3stackrel(1)Cstackrel(2)CH_2CH_2stackrel(4)CH_2stackrel(5)CH_2stackrel(6)CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2stackrel(10)CH_3`

...and then substitute in the substituents at the appropriate numbers on the chain....

I will leave you to do this on paper; it gets complicated and confusing with this editor...
