There are four different compounds with the formula C7H16, each of which can form only three different monochlorides as a result of free radical halogenation. (Ignore stereochemistry.) The choices are….
3-ethylpentane
3,3-dimethylpentane
2,3-dimethylpentane
2,4-dimethylpentane
2,2-dimethylpentane
3,4-dimethylpentane
2-ethylpentane
2,3,3-dimethylbutane
2,2,3-trimethylbutane
I picked 4 and was wrong. Really need this one right too. If you could supply and explaination that would be great. Thank You!

The object is to count the number of DIFFERENT H’s. I’ll do 4.
3,4-dimethylpentane (not correct) – 2,3 is the correct name
….CH(CH3)2—CH(CH3)—CH2—CH3 (6-different)
2,2,3-trimethylbutane
….C(CH3)3—-CH(CH3)2 (3-different)
2-ethylpentane
….CH3—-CH(CH2CH3)—-CH2—-CH2—… (7-different)
3-ethylpentane
….(CH3CH2)3CH (3-different)
2,3,3-dimethylbutane (not correct – it is 2,2,3-tri)
