To solve this problem, we need to identify the compound with the molecular formula that has two tertiary carbons.A tertiary carbon is a carbon atom bonded to three other carbon atoms.Let's analyze the options:Option 1: 2,3-Dimethylbutane• Structure: CHC(CH)CHCH• This compound has two tertiary carbons at positions 2 and 3.Option 2: 2,2-Dimethylbutane• Structure: CHC(CH)CHCH• This compound has only one tertiary carbon at position 2.Option 3: n-Hexane• Structure: CHCHCHCHCHCH• This compound has no tertiary carbons.Option 4: 2-Methylpentane• Structure: CHCH(CH)CHCHCH• This compound has only one tertiary carbon at position 2.Therefore, the compound with two tertiary carbons is 2,3-Dimethylbutane.The correct IUPAC name is Option 1: 2,3-Dimethylbutane.
