Don't Know Name of Molecule
« on: April 17, 2016, 06:28:46 AM »
Hello,

I am 16 years old and have a chemistry test tomorrow.
I saw this molecule today but couldn't find out its name, I don't even know if I need this knowledge for the test, but I just want to be sure.

If anyone could help then that would be really appreciated!

First of all Nobody is going to ask the name of this compound ...!!!
Usually whenever I have to search any Molecule I Use -
http://www.chemspider.com/
or
http://www.lookchem.com

Just put their its molecular formula It will give you a list of molecules  then You can search for your molecule .
So don't get afraid , Usually Simple Molecules are asked in the exams .
I've got similar molecule Look at it's name . It's so complex  :o :o

Its name, according to ChemDraw is 7,8,9,11,12,13,14,15,16,17-decahydro-6H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene.
The basic ring system is found in steroids, for example the estrogens.
