8
for naming branded chains, what Is considered the parent chain?
the longest carbon chain
how are substitutes named if there are more than one?
they are listed in alphabetical order using the bas name.
what do alkenes have?
double carbon bonds
what do alkynes have?
triple carbon bonds
what do double and triple bonds have priority over?
alkyl and halo substitutes
how do you name a hydrocarbon when both double and triple bonds are present?
the -en suffix follows the parent chain, followed by the -yne suffix.
how are alcohols named?
replacing -ane with -anol
what does the hydroxyl group have precedence over when numbering the parent chain?
alkyl groups, halogen substitutes and double bonds
how do you name a hydrocarbon when both double bonds and hydroxyl groups are present?
the -en suffix follows the parent chain, followed by the -ol suffix.
what is the aldehyde suffix?
-anal
what is the aldehyde functional group?
carbonyl group
how do you name a hydrocarbon when both double bonds and carbonyl groups (aldehyde) are present?
the -en suffix follows the parent chain, followed by the -al suffix.
what is the ketone suffix?
-anone
how do you name a hydrocarbon when both double bonds and carbonyl groups (ketone) are present?
the -en suffix follows the parent chain, followed by the -one suffix.
