nomenclature Flashcards
1
Q
nomenclature
A
Naming organic compounds
2
Q
IUPAC
A
naming system
prevents confusion and language barriers
easy to understand and support claims
3
Q
straight chain alkanes
A
it is the number of carbons plus -ane
4
Q
branched alkanes
A
they have side chains.
to name it you must count the side with the longest carbon chain and then count the side chains
3-ethyl-2-methylpentane
5
Q
di tri
A
if there are more than one of the same alkyl group
6
Q
cycloalkanes
A
same as the straight chain equivalent but has cyclo in front of the name.
they can be branched as well
7
Q
alk-1-ene
A
the number of carbon and where the double bond lies between the carbon chains
8
Q
priority
A
you must figure out which functional group is more important
halogen-alkyl groups - alkenes - other functional groupa
least to most
