Explanation:

Identify the first alkane structure

Using the IUPAC Nomenclature knowledge point
The longest carbon chain has 4 carbons (butane). Two methyl groups are on carbon-2.

$$ \text{Name: 2,2-dimethylbutane} $$

Identify the ester formula

Using the Organic Chemistry Families and Functional Groups knowledge points
Methyl ethanoate contains an ethanoate group (\(\text{CH}_3\text{COO}-\)) and a methyl group (\(-\text{CH}_3\)).

$$ \text{Formula: } \text{H}_3\text{C}-\text{C}(=\text{O})-\text{O}-\text{CH}_3 $$

Identify the trimethylpentane structure

Using the IUPAC Nomenclature knowledge point
The parent chain is pentane (5 carbons). Methyl groups are at positions 2, 3, and 4.

$$ \text{Structure: } \text{H}_3\text{C}-\text{CH}(\text{CH}_3)-\text{CH}(\text{CH}_3)-\text{CH}(\text{CH}_3)-\text{CH}_3 $$

Define the electron region

An orbital is defined as a region of space with a high probability of finding an electron.

Determine atomic neutrality evidence

Atoms are electrically neutral, meaning the positive charge of protons must equal the negative charge of electrons.

Analyze electrons in the same energy level

Electrons in the same principal energy level (\(n\)) do not all have the same energy (due to subshells \(s, p, d, f\)), nor do they all have opposite spins or identical orbitals. Thus, none of the statements are always true.

Define electron arrangement

The arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom is known as the electron configuration.

Determine sodium's electron configuration

Sodium (\(\text{Na}\), \(Z=11\)) has 11 electrons.

$$ 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1 $$
