What does 1,2-dichloro-2-methyl-propane look like?

If you find any nomenclature past paper questions, link them. Thanks :smile:

Start with drawing out the structure of propane. Then attach a CH3 group on the second carbon as the number before a functional group tells you which carbon it's attached on. Then as it says di-chloro it indicates there are two chlorine atoms attached and one of them is on the 1st carbon an the second one is on the second respectively.

CH2Cl-C(CH3)Cl-CH2-CH3

CH2Cl-C(CH3)Cl-CH2-CH3

That's butane (4 carbons). Remove the CH2 and you have the right structure.
