2,2,5-trimethyl-3,4-diethyl octane structural formula

When drawing up formulas, start with the backbone. In our case, this is octane. Octane has 8 carbon atoms:

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3,

now we look at such a component as “3,4-diethyl”.

It indicates the presence of ethyl radicals in the amount of two pieces (“di”) at the “3,4” position.

CH3-CH2-CH (C2H5) -CH (C2H5) -CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3.

The prefix “2,2,5-trimethyl” is deciphered in the same way. “three” indicates that there are three methyl groups in the compound, and “2,2,5” for their location.

CH3-C (CH3) 2-CH (C2H5) -CH (C2H5) -CH (CH3) -CH2-CH2-CH3.
