The difference is that formulas 15 and 16 have two "CH3" groups near the left end of the molecule. This is seen more easily in 17, a "condensed formula" that is equivalent to the "line formula" 15. Furthermore, 15 to 17 have a single "CH" group present, whereas 7 has no "CH" groups, only "CH3" and "CH2" groups. The new structure 15 or 17 carries a different name :"isodecyl chloride.

The watt-hour(symbol W·h or Wh) is a unit of energy. It is most commonly used on household electricity meters in the form of the kilowatt-hour(kW·h or kWh), which is 1, 000 watt-hours. It is not used in the International System of Units(SI), despite being based on the watt, as the hour is not a SI unit. The SI unit of energy is the joule(J), equal to one watt-second. It is, however, a commonly used unit, especially for measuring electric energy. 1 watt-hour is equivalent to 3, 600 joules(1 W x 3600 s), the joule being the canonical SI unit of energy. Thus a kilowatt-hour is 3, 600, 000 joules or 3. 6 megajoules.... The kilowatt-hour is commonly used for electrical and natural gas energy. Many electric utility companies use the kilowatt-hour for billing. 3, record 5, English, - kilowatt%2Dhour
