Haloalkanes & Branched Alkanes [Part 1] | Name → Structure

The video tutorial explains how to draw organic molecules by converting their names into structural formulas. It covers three examples: 2,3,4-trimethylhexane, 2-chloro-3-ethyloctane, and 4-bromo-2,3-diethyl-5-methyldecane. The process involves identifying the parent chain, adding functional groups, and ensuring the correct number of hydrogens. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding the naming conventions and structural rules, such as the CNH 2N+2 rule for alkanes, and highlights exceptions for haloalkanes.

In the second example, what is the parent chain and how many carbons does it contain?

Describe how to identify the position of the chloro group in the second example.

What adjustments must be made to the hydrogen count when halogens are present in a molecule?
