Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The line formula and molecular formula for phytane is to be written from its given IUPAC name.
Concept introduction:
When writing line formulas, the labels for individual carbon atoms are omitted. The hydrogen atoms attached to carbon are shown only when necessary for clarity.
Heteroatoms and hydrogens attached to them are shown explicitly.
The IUPAC name indicates the parent chain. The substituents attached to it are drawn according to their numbers in the name given.

- Organic compounds may have characteristic odors as well as other characteristic physical properties. For example, the distinct odor of the seashore at low tide results in part from the presence of dimethyl sulfide (CH3SCH3), a molecule with a similar structure to dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3). Ethanethiol (CH3CH2SH), also called mercaptan, is an isomer of dimethyl sulfide with a much less pleasant odor.The table lists four related compounds and their enthalpies of vaporization (ΔH°vap) in kJ/mol.
