Title: Naming Hydrocarbons, can anyone help and explain? :)
Post by: DandelionYellow on January 12, 2021, 03:22:51 PM

Hello! So my Chemistry teacher set us homework to research into and name Hydrocarbons, we haven't really been taught much on it other than really simple structures like "hexane" and other simple ones like that, I understand the basic gist of substituents, but I'm struggling overall. Could anyone help me name these? Thanks!

The naming rules are common to simple and more complex hydrocarbons.
Try to name them yourself, then see if Google can find the name. You can draw your structure as SMILES.
