Naming and Drawing Branched Alkanes

Wondering how to write the names and draw the structures of simple branched alkanes? Then you've come to the right place. This is the quintessential first lesson in most organic chemistry classes where they teach you how to count carbons and name branches! By the end of this video, you will be able to successfully name most simple branched alkanes!

🧪️ This is part of my organic chemistry video collection. Here is the playlist: http://bit.ly/39G7odQ
