Q

Naming PAH’s

A

lot’s of PAH’s have their own names, but many are also marked with leter substiuants if they are a named structure with one or two extra rings.

Q

Foirmation of PAH’s

A

when there isn’t enough oxygen during combustions, the loose carbons react with each other to form rings.

Decomposition of PAH’s

A

photodecompose quickly, but take a long time for bactera to digest

24
Q

the most carcinogenc PAH’s have

A

a bay area, when this gets OH added to it it becomes extremely dangerous because it lets a stable carbocation form
