Identifying Conformations for Specific Compounds

In each of the following four questions a hydrocarbon is named. For each select from among the sixteen conformational structures A through Pall structures that represent possible conformers of that compound.

Enter letters (A through P), corresponding to your selections, in each answer box.
Do not enter superfluous characters, since they will be counted as incorrect answers.

1. 2-methylbutane 2. 2,3-dimethylpentane 3. 1-ethyl-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane 4. 2-ethyl-1,1-dimethylcyclohexane
Grid of 16 conformer structures A-P: sawhorse acyclic conformers A-H and cyclohexane chair conformers I-P
