<p>I'm taking the NYS Chemistry Regents exam today.
Can someone plz tell me the structural differences between drawing a n-octane and a 1-propyl-3-ethyl propane?
It's a question from an old Regents exam.
Thanks!!</p>

C-C-C-C-C (1-propyl-3-ethyl propane) (ignore the dots)

…C-C</p>
<p>Someone, please confirm.
Kthxbye.</p>
<p>Thanks for your answer, but wouldn’t having 5 carbons in the middle make that 1-propyl-3-ethyl pentane?</p>
