1. The problem is to find the name of the compound with the formula C(CH3)4. 2. This formula represents a carbon atom bonded to four methyl groups (CH3). 3. Each methyl group is a substituent derived from methane (CH4) by removing one hydrogen. 4. When a central carbon atom is bonded to four identical alkyl groups, the compound is called a "tetraalkylmethane". 5. Specifically, C(CH3)4 is called "tetramethylmethane". 6. However, the common and more accepted name for this compound is "neopentane". 7. Neopentane is a branched alkane with the formula C5H12, where the central carbon is bonded to four methyl groups. 8. Therefore, the name of C(CH3)4 is neopentane.
