This question really comes down to whether you can visualize a compound in space and be able to manipulate it in a 3d orientation.
00:09
So if you can't see this, i would highly suggest getting a model kit to help you along.
00:16
So two methyl butane.
00:18
Butane is a four carbon chain.
00:21
One, two, three, four.
00:22
Two methyl, so a methyl group on the second atom.
00:25
To solve this problem, i would draw everything in the bone structure and see if you can manipulate it.
00:30
To overlap with this compound.
00:35
So the first one, we have a ch3 attached to a ch2, attached to a ch with two methyl groups coming off of it.
00:43
If we flip this 180 degrees, this is indeed the same compound.
00:47
So check.
00:49
The second one is a ch3, attached to a ch2, attached to a ch, attached to two methyl groups.
00:55
So this one is also the same...
