What is a Y-shaped 3-carbon group with only single bonds?

Isopropyl

(CH₃)₂CH–

(CH₃)₂ = two CH₃ groups

  • CH = one more carbon

So 2 + 1 = 3 carbons ✅

What is a straight 4-carbon group with only single bonds?

n-Butyl

CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂–

  • CH₃ = 1 carbon

  • CH₂ + CH₂ + CH₂ = 3 more carbons

1 + 3 = 4 carbons ✅
