steps for naming organic compounds
1- find the longest continuous carbon chain
2- determine if an ending needs to be added to the base name, this is necessary if a functional group is present on any of the carbon atoms
3- number the carbon chain so the functional group is on the lowest number carbon
4- number any side groups
5- if there are 2 side chains name in alphabetical order
6- if there is more than 1 identical functional group or side chain put di, tri or tetra
