Using a skeletal structure, give the structure corresponding to the name (s)−3−iodo−2−methylnonane.

Explanation:

For the given compound: (s)-3-iodo-2-methylnonane, only third carbon- atom (marked with red dot) is the chiral atom (as it is attached to 4 different substituents), so the configuration will be assigned to this C-atom only.

In assigning the configuration of this compound, the priorities are assigned based on their atomic masses. The lowest priority group ( that is Hydrogen) should lie on the vertical line. But here, it is lying on the horizontal line, so the configuration will be reversed.

The configuration coming out when H is on the horizontal line is R, but the actual configuration will be S.

The structure of the given organic compound is shown in the image attached.

"hydrogen bonding is the attraction of h atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to o atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. but it is still strong enough to the water molecules "stick" together."
