How many compounds with formula C₇H₁₆ have a five-carbon parent chain and different IUPAC names?

Answer:
5.00
Solution:

The five C₇H₁₆ structures with longest chain five are 3-ethylpentane, 2,2-dimethylpentane, 2,3-dimethylpentane, 2,4-dimethylpentane and 3,3-dimethylpentane. Reversed numbering does not create another structure. Count 5.
