20
Q

What is the infix for a triple C-C bond?

21
Q

What is the infix for a double C-C bond?

22
Q

What is the infix for a single C-C bond?

23
Q

What is the first step of IUPAC nomenclature?

A

-Identify longest continuous carbon chain- this becomes the parent

24
Q

What is the second step of IUPAC nomenclature?

A

-Identify unsaturation (any double or triple bonds)- becomes the infix

25
Q

What is the third step of IUPAC nomenclature?

A

-Number each carbon in the principle chain so that the substituent has the smallest possible number

26
Q

What is the fourth step of IUPAC nomenclature?

A

-Name the substituent to become the prefix to the principle chain and decide the suffix

27
Q

Where are the substituents if the benzene ring is ortho?

28
Q

Where are the substituents if the benzene ring is meta?

29
Q

Where are the substituents if the benzene ring is para?
