(B) $1$. The structure of $2	ext{-Iodo-}3,4,5	ext{-trimethylhexane}$ is $CH_3-CH(I)-CH(CH_3)-CH(CH_3)-CH(CH_3)-CH_3$.$2$. $A$ chiral carbon atom is a carbon atom bonded to four different groups.$3$. Let us examine each carbon atom:- $C2$: Bonded to $-H, -I, -CH_3$, and $-CH(CH_3)CH(CH_3)CH(CH_3)CH_3$. This is chiral.- $C3$: Bonded to $-H, -CH_3, -CH(I)CH_3$, and $-CH(CH_3)CH(CH_3)CH_3$. This is chiral.- $C4$: Bonded to $-H, -CH_3, -CH(CH_3)CH(I)CH_3$, and $-CH(CH_3)CH_3$. This is chiral.- $C5$: Bonded to $-H, -CH_3, -CH_3$, and $-CH(CH_3)CH(CH_3)CH(I)CH_3$. Since it is bonded to two identical $-CH_3$ groups, it is achiral.$4$. Thus, there are $3$ chiral carbon atoms $(C2, C3, C4)$.

How many chiral carbon atoms are present in $2\text{-Iodo-}3,4,5\text{-trimethylhexane}$?
