The naming of branched chain Alkanes is based on the following rules:-
1. The largest continuous chain of carbon atoms in the molecule is used to deduce the parent name of the compound.
2. The carbon atoms of this chain are numbered such that the branching // substituents are attached to the carbon atom bearing the lowest number.
3. The substituent // branch is named e.g. methyl, ethyl etc and the name of the compound written as one word.
