The formula of the molecule given above can also be written as C4H10. 
If you count all the carbon atoms you will discover, they are four while that of hydrogen is 10.Thus, the name of the compound is ISOBUTANE [I -BUTANE]; it is also called 2 - methyl propane. Isobutane is used majorly as petrol additive in refineries; it is used in the production of isooctane, which is a octane gasoline component that enhances the octane rating and anti-knock properties of gasoline.

Answer:

2-methyl propane

Explanation:

According to IUPAC nomenclature, the name of this molecule is 2-methyl propane.

The longest carbon chain corresponds to propane (3 carbon atoms)

A methyl group is attached to carbon number 2

Hence the name of the molecule.

IUPAC nomenclature provides an unambiguous system of nomenclature that enables the structure of a compound to be deduced easily from its name as seen above.
