Question 18

conformer

Answer 18

don’t be fooled; two compounds that are conformers are the same

Question 19

alkane naming the IUPAC way

Answer 19

1-name the longest branch
2-number the carbons so the branches have the lowest number, with cyclic alkanes start the numbering with alphabetically appropriate substituent group and then go around so the other substituent has the lowest number
3- ID each branch w corresponding numbered Carbon
4. Follow format Prefix-Parent with right suffix

ex. 3-ethyl-3-methylhexane

Question 20

alkane common reactions

Answer 20

combustion

halogenation
