Question

Hello, I need help with names chemicals.

Answer 1

here's a few rules:

numbers

(you always begin the chemical name with one of these numbers, it indicates how many atoms of C there are)

1. meth-
2. et-
3. prop-
4. but-
5. pent-
6. hex-
7. hept-
8. oct-
9. non-
10. dec-
11. undec-
12. dodec-
13. tridec
14. tetradec
15. pentadec
16. hexadec
17. heptadec
18. octadec
19. nonadec
20. idos

alkanes

end with -ane

alcohols

end with -ol

knowing those rules, it's quite simple to name them

(all of those exercises are alcohols)

1. 10 C and alcohol -> Decanol
2. 7 C-> heptanol
3. 8 C-> octanol
4. 13C->tridectanol
5. 8C-> octanol
6. 11C-> Undecanol
7. 6C-> hexanolbromide
