Hi, so over here we want to draw the skeletal structure for transform methyl to pentene and in this case in order to know why this answer is incorrect let's first count the number of carbon atoms that we're going to have on the main chain.
00:13
Over here we're going to have one, two, three, four, and five carbon atoms but in this case we should only have an extra methyl group at position four.
00:22
In this case as you can see you're going to have one, two, three carbon atoms additional to the structure that are not present on the name.
00:33
So the correct answer in this case for methyl to pentane would be, let's have still our trans configuration over here.
00:50
This would be carbon 1, carbon 2, carbon 3, carbon 4, and finally an extra carbon, carbon 5.
00:58
Let me clean up the structure a little bit just to make it clear that this is going to be as follows, carbon 4 and carbon 5...
