Q

How to name alkanes

A
  1. name the longest alkane. This is the parent chain
  2. name the substituent alkyl groups in alphabetical order
  3. us multipliers to indicate number of identical substituents (di, tri, tetra, penta)
  4. number the parent chain from the end. Start on side with substituents closest to the edge.
  5. Number the substituents
