first off, what is the molecule called??
H3C - - - CH - - - - CH2CH3
I
D....connected to the CH in the middle, sorry
What are all of its stereoisomers and absolute config for it??
PLEASE HELP ME!!! I AM CONFUSED WITH THIS ONE!! THANKS

You have a 2-deutero-butane molecule.
Since you have 4 different components on the 2-carbon (-CH3) (-CH2CH3) (-H) and (-D), you do have two stereoisomers

It's 2-deuterobutane. The 2nd C atom in the chain has 4 different groups on it, and it will exist in optically active isomers. You can draw these like any other pair of enantiomers.

this is 2-deutero-butane.
as any asymmetric molecule with 1 chiral center it has two possible configurations R and S. from such a planar drawing there is no way to tell which of the two it is. use fisher structures.

H3C----CH-----CH2CH3 , H3C------HC-----CH2CH3
H on upper side is D and H on lower side is L . other configurations are.
D(+),D(-) and L(+),L(-)
+ and - are dexro rotatory and leavorotatory
D and L are mirror images which are nonsuperimposable and of course some diff group is also attached to middle C atom, u have not shown this group in the question.

No, there are compounds that have chirality centers that are no longer unmarried atoms. Allenes and binaphthalene compounds can exist as as replicate pictures and exhibit optical isomerism. they do no longer seem to be in many situations pronounced whilst chirality is presented.

i think u left out one hydrogen. The correct formula must be CH3CH2CH2CH3 and its called butane
